Belmont Stakes in images: Top shots of Sovereignty besting Journalism
Belmont Stakes in images: Top shots of Sovereignty besting Journalism Sovereignty and Journalism went head-to-head in the 2025 Belmont Stakes on Saturday. It was the Kentucky Derby winner against the Preakness champ. A rubber match of sorts as Sovereignty passed the second jewel of the Triple Crown. Sovereignty and jockey Junior Alvarado passed Journalism and Umberto Rispoli in the stretch of the Belmont, which was run at Saratoga. So, Sovereignty is the King of the 3-year-olds as the class of 2025 approaches the Summer. And he won the Derby and Belmont but skipped the Preakness. Would he have won the Triple Crown? We'll never know. But what we do know is Sovereignty is a special horse.

Journalism (5-2) and No. 2 Sovereignty (2-1) were essentially co-favorites to win the race going into the final leg of the Triple Crown at Saratoga Race Course.

2025 Belmont Stakes: Rain clearing, but muddy track conditions to remain
The 2025 Belmont Stakes is being impacted by stormy weather around Saratoga Race Course on Saturday morning. The skies are set to clear and conditions are likely to improve in Saratoga Springs, New York after a morning of rain, but muddy conditions could remain on the track for Saturday evening's race, according to The Weather Channel. Nearly 1.5 inches of rain fell from Friday at midnight to Saturday at noon ahead of the race, according to a weather station in Saratoga Springs, which could contribute to muddy track conditions. The race day schedule has already been altered, with the Belmont Stakes sharing on social media that four races have already been moved off the turf to the main track — Races 3, 6, 10 and 14. Sunshine will become more frequent throughout the day, with temperatures in the low 70s at race time (7:04 p.m. ET). Saratoga Springs is not under any significant weather alerts as of Saturday afternoon, but there is a flash flood warning nearby in Albany, New York, which is roughly 35 miles away. [MORE: Belmont Stakes winners: Complete list by year ] Journalism (+160) is the slight favorite over Sovereignty (+200) for the 157th Belmont Stakes — the third and final leg of the Triple Crown — per DraftKings Sportsbook. Baeza (+400), Rodriguez (+600), Hill Road (+1000), Crudo (+1500), Heart of Honor (+3000) and Uncaged (+3000) round out the field. [MORE: Sovereignty, Journalism, Baeza are 'top tier' in crop of Belmont Stakes horses] Sovereignty won a rainy and muddy 151st Kentucky Derby last month on May 3, outlasting 3-1 favorite Journalism. It was 58 degrees and cloudy, and a downpour of rain made for murky conditions at Churchill Downs. Journalism dug out a victory in the 150th Preakness Stakes a few weeks later on May 17 at the old Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland for the last time before it's torn down and rebuilt. There were less-than-perfect conditions leading up to the race, but things turned around in time for the big event. It was a sunny to partly cloudy day, with the race running under mostly clear and warm conditions. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
