Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty ran right by Preakness Stakes winner Journalism at mid-stretch and charged on to a definitive victory in Saturday's $2 million, Grade I Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in New York.

Journalism is campaigned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Bridlewood Farm, Don Alberto Stable, Robert LaPenta, Elayne Stables 5, Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith. This story was originally reported by Paulick Report on Jun 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

The 1.5-mile race will feature racehorses Sovereignty and Journalism, the winners of the 2025 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, respectively. Journalism had been the odds favorite (4-1) heading into the Derby, while Sovereignty entered the race at 9-1 odds, but Sovereignty gained the edge in the final moments on the muddy Churchill Downs track.
