Journalism Favored Over Sovereignty in 2025 Belmont Stakes at Saratoga
The 2025 Belmont Stakes, held for the second consecutive year at Saratoga Race Course due to renovations at Belmont Park, features a field of eight horses with Journalism and Sovereignty as the clear favorites. Journalism, who won the Preakness Stakes and finished second in the Kentucky Derby, is the 8-5 morning line favorite and will start from the No. 7 post. Sovereignty, the Kentucky Derby winner who skipped the Preakness to rest, is the second choice at 2-1 and will break from the No. 2 post. Both trainers emphasize their horses' steady improvement and readiness for the race, which is run at 1 ¼ miles rather than the traditional 1 ½ miles because of the Saratoga track layout. Other notable contenders include Baeza, third in the Derby and listed at 4-1, and Rodriguez, who missed the first two legs of the Triple Crown due to injury but has been cleared for the Belmont, starting at 6-1. The race promises a competitive showdown among the top three-year-old colts, with post time scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET on Saturday.
