US EditionSovereignty wins the 2025 Belmont Stakes
- Sovereignty won the 157th Belmont Stakes on June 7, 2025, at Saratoga Race Course, defeating Journalism in a highly anticipated rematch.
- After winning the Kentucky Derby, Sovereignty’s connections chose to bypass the Preakness Stakes to prioritize preparation for the Belmont Stakes, foregoing the opportunity to compete for the Triple Crown, which has not been claimed since 2018, due to concerns about the brief interval between races.
- The Belmont field featured eight horses including Baeza, who has shown strong improvement and is considered a potential spoiler alongside favorites Sovereignty and Journalism.
- Sovereignty paid $7 to win, was Godolphin-owned, and trainer Bill Mott marked his second Belmont victory while expressing interest in future stakes like the Travers.
- The victory underscores Sovereignty’s prominence among three-year-olds and highlights strategic choices to preserve the horse’s future, suggesting a continuing competitive season.
