Nyquist already lost a shot at the Triple Crown after finishing third in the Preakness, but now he won't even get to finish the final leg of horse racing's biggest event.

According to David Grening of Daily Racing Form, Nyquist has officially been taken out of the Belmont Stakes due to high white blood cell count.

Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby, but developed a slight fever a couple of days after the Preakness.
