Why isn't Rich Strike in the Preakness?

The improbable Kentucky Derby winner will forgo his chance at the Triple Crown by skipping the Preakness Stakes. His connections suggested that the two-week turnaround from Derby to Preakness was too quick. For the health of Rich Strike, they will instead look to run in the Belmont Stakes in early June.
