Kentucky Derby winner, Sovereignty, is set for a rematch with Preakness Stakes winner, Journalism, having finished first and second, respectively, in the first leg of the Triple Crown. Journalism was originally favored to win the 2025 Kentucky Derby with 5-1 morning line odds.
Winning the Triple Crown is one of the hardest achievements in all of American sports. Here's the last time it was accomplished.
The final leg of the horse-racing Triple Crown takes place on Saturday. There is no anticipation of a Triple Crown, as that dream died once Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty was held out of the Preakness. In addition, the race will take place in upstate New York rather than Belmont Park on Long Island.
Godolphin Racing and trainer Bill Mott decided shortly after the Kentucky Derby to skip the Preakness with Sovereignty and train up to the Belmont, which he won Saturday at Saratoga.
Ever since Sovereignty didn’t run in the Preakness, there have been conversations about spreading out the three legs of the Triple Crown.
