Sovereignty vs. Journalism: Derby Rematch in the Belmont

  • The 157th Belmont Stakes, taking place at Saratoga Springs on June 7, 2025, will showcase a showdown featuring Sovereignty, who claimed victory at the Kentucky Derby, and Journalism, the Preakness winner.
  • Sovereignty skipped the Preakness to rest for the Belmont, while Journalism is the only horse competing in all three Triple Crown legs, highlighting different preparation strategies.
  • Eight horses enter the Belmont, including former Derby third-place finisher Baeza and lightly raced Wood Memorial winner Rodriguez, who missed earlier classics due to a foot injury.
  • Journalism is the 8-5 morning-line favorite, Sovereignty is second choice at 2-1, and the race distance is shortened to 1.25 miles for the second consecutive year at Saratoga due to Belmont Park renovations.
  • This highly anticipated race lacks Triple Crown stakes but promises a competitive showdown influenced by weather and Saratoga's reputation as the 'Graveyard of Champions'.
