Golden Tempo, trained by DeVaux — the first woman in history to train a Derby champion — will bypass the Preakness Stakes in favor of rest and recovery, his connections choosing the horse's long-term wellbeing over the compressed glory of the Triple Crown. The decision extends a drought now eight years long, quietly asking whether the sport's greatest test has become too great a burden for the horses asked to bear it.
