Jody Demling has revealed his win, place and show Belmont Stakes betting picks for the Belmont Stakes 2025, including Sovereignty and Journalism

No. 7 Journalism (8-5) and No. 2 Sovereignty (2-1) are essentially co-favorites to win the race, and their combined implied probability suggests that one of these horses will win the Belmont Stakes 72 percent of the time.

While there will not be a Triple Crown winner this season, Saturday’s 157th running of the Belmont Stakes does boast the winners of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, Sovereignty and Journalism. Those two thoroughbreds and six other horses will race for the winner’s share of the $2,000,000 purse.
