Sovereignty bested Journalism on Saturday in a Kentucky Derby rematch to win the 157th Belmont Stakes, the second hosted at Saratoga.
Sovereignty and jockey Junior Alvarado traversed the field of eight on a fast Saratoga track after downpours throughout the morning and early afternoon dried up before post time.
The 5-2 second favorite won in 2 minutes, 0.69 seconds, beating Preakness Stakes winner Journalism by three lengths.
Journalism ended up in second again and Baeza was third — the same 1-2-3 as the Kentucky Derby.
Journalism entered the gate at the Belmont as the 2-1 favorite, with Baeza the third favorite at 7-2.
