There will be no Triple Crown in 2025, but there's still plenty of incentive to tune into the 2025 Belmont Stakes. The third and final leg of the Triple Crown will take place at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, for the second consecutive year as Belmont Park undergoes renovations.
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.

Unfortunately, Sovereignty was pulled from the Preakness Stakes following his stunning victory, so there was no Triple Crown up for grabs, and Journalism went on to stake his claim to victory in the Preakness with a come-from-behind win.
Now, Sovereignty and Journalism go toe-to-toe in a rematch, along with six other competitors in the field. Here's a look at the rest of the Belmont Stakes horses, along with their post positions and odds:

Sovereignty wins the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes
Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty galloped to victory in muddy conditions at the 157th Belmont Stakes in Saratoga Springs, New York, on Saturday in the third leg of the Triple Crown. Sovereignty, who entered the race with 2-to-1 odds, defeated a field of seven challengers. Journalism finished in second place. The race marked a kind of replay of the Derby, in which Sovereignty finished in first and Journalism was the runner-up. Journalism had entered as the heavy favorite after winning the Preakness. Derby third-place finisher Baeza was also in the field of eight. Journalism was the only horse who ran in all three legs of the Triple Crown this year. Bob Baffert-trained Rodriguez was in the Belmont after being scratched from the Derby because of a minor foot bruise that also kept the colt out of the Preakness. The Belmont took place for a second consecutive time at the historic Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York. The New York Racing Association temporarily relocated it there while Belmont Park on Long Island undergoes nearly half-a-billion dollars in renovations. This is a developing story and will be updated.
