REGEX: can't seem to replace LIMIT clause in query using preg_replace ($pattern, $replacement, $query)

Want to replace the limit clause in a query, but can't get it right.
What's wrong with this:

$pattern = "(.*)limit (.*)";
$replacement = '$1';
$replacement .= "LIMIT $limit";
$replacement .= '$2';
$query = preg_replace ($pattern, $replacement, $query);

All I get back is:

LIMIT 700
