Sovereignty won the 2025 Belmont Stakes, capping off a terrific Triple Crown season. The three-year-old horse entered with the second-shortest odds and escaped with victory late, after it looked like the favorite, Journalism, would build on the momentum built at last month's Preakness.

Ridden by Junior Alvarado, Sovereignty swept past favored Journalism in the stretch and powered to victory. Journalism held on for second, with Baeza getting up for third.
