Who won the Belmont Stakes in 2025? Full results, finish order & highlights from the race

-

He didn't win the Triple Crown, but Sovereignty reigns as the supreme racehorse of 2025.

After being held out of the Preakness Stakes on May 17, the Kentucky Derby winner returned in style to claim the Belmont Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga in New York. Sovereignty is the first Derby winner to intentionally skip the Preakness and return to win the Belmont.

Just as he did at Churchill Downs, the horse trained by Bill Mott and jockeyed by Junior Alvarado chased down the favored Journalism in the final stretch, accelerating in the last 1/2 mile to cross the finish line first and win $1.2 million .

The question will always remain as to whether Sovereignty could have won the Triple Crown, but his month of rest certainly looked like it helped on Saturday. Capturing two legs of arguably the most difficult feats in sports will still put the horse in the history books.

For the second year in a row, the Belmont Stakes was held at Saratoga Race Course as renovations are made to the Belmont Park track. The race is scheduled to return to its rightful place next year.
