Derby and Preakness winners to skip Belmont

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/16/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver and Preakness Stakes champ Lookin At Lucky will both skip the Belmont Stakes.

Both respective trainers, Todd Pletcher and Bob Baffert, said Sunday morning that both would be kept out of thoroughbred racing's third jewel of the Triple Crown, set for June 5 at Belmont Park.

Lookin At Lucky captured the Preakness on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course after finishing sixth in the Derby. Super Saver tired in the stretch Saturday and wound up eighth on the heels of his victory at Churchill Downs.

The Belmont Stakes, a grueling 1 1/2 miles, will be run without the two previous classic winners for the second time in five years. In 2006, Barbaro won the Derby and suffered devastating injuries two weeks later in the Preakness, which was won by Bernardini, who then skipped the Belmont.
