Sovereignty beats out Journalism to win the 2025 Belmont Stakes

Sovereignty reigns supreme in more than just geopolitics.

The horse with the same name won the running of the 2025 Belmont Stakes on Saturday afternoon, with Journalism finishing in second.

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.

Sovereignty won the Kentucky Derby, while Journalism won the Preakness Stakes in a thrilling come-from-behind finish after Sovereignty voluntarily skipped the race.
