Sovereignty wins Belmont
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Sovereignty outran Journalism on Saturday in a Kentucky Derby rematch in the 157th Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, the race once again showcasing the best in horse racing.
Like last year, it featured the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winners. However, unlike last year and for the first time since 2018, one of those two won to secure two of the three legs of the Triple Crown.
“I think they are three really good horses,” Sovereignty trainer Bill Mott said. “I’m glad (Sovereignty) was able to come back and have a race like he did in the Derby.”
It was the second Belmont win for Mott. He spends most of his summer tending to his horses at Saratoga, so winning the Belmont at Saratoga was extra special.
