Two horses stand out among the eight entrants for the 2025 Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and Preakness Stakes winner Journalism have the two lowest odds to win Saturday's race at Saratoga. Journalism is a slight favorite over Sovereignty at 8-5, while the Derby winner checks in at 2-1.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Sovereignty bested Journalism on Saturday in a Kentucky Derby rematch to win the 157th Belmont Stakes, and the second hosted at Saratoga. Sovereignty and jockey Junior Alvarado traversed the field of eight on a fast Saratoga track after downpours throughout the morning and early afternoon dried up before post time.

After capturing the Kentucky Derby in May in a showdown with Journalism, Saturday's Belmont Stakes at Saratoga proved to be rematch down the homestretch. Journalism, who closed as a 2-1 favorite, turned for home in the lead at the top of the stretch.
