Belmont 2025 live updates: Time, TV, odds, results from Saratoga Race Course

Journalism breezes during his morning workout at Saratoga Race Course on Jun 4, 2025.

The third leg of the Triple Crown, the 157th edition of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, is here. This American Grade I stakes race will feature eight three-year-old thoroughbreds.

The lineup is nothing short of thrilling. We have Sovereignty, the victor of the Kentucky Derby, who chose to skip the Preakness Stakes. And then there's Journalism, the Kentucky Derby's second-place finisher, who bounced back to win the Preakness Stakes. He's now gearing up for the Belmont Stakes, his third race in just five weeks.

While a Triple Crown winner won't emerge this year, the unpredictability of the Belmont Stakes promises plenty of action. Stay tuned for all the live updates.

Why your Belmont horse can and can't win

Jason Frakes from the Louisville Courier Journal analyzes why the favorite horses running in the Belmont Stakes can win or may not win.

2. Sovereignty (2-1)

Why he can win: If Rodriguez and Crudo go fast early, the race sets up for a closer like Sovereignty to do his thing. After skipping the Preakness, he’s well-rested.

Why he can’t: Mott ruffled some feathers when he told the Daily Racing Form that Sovereignty had no reason to skip the Preakness, except that “we didn’t feel like it.” We’ll see if the “racing gods” take offense.

7. Journalism (8-5)

Why he can win: He can seemingly overcome anything, winning the Santa Anita Derby and Preakness after encountering trouble. Maybe we’ll look back at the Kentucky Derby as the only smudge on an otherwise impeccable résumé.

Why he can’t: You can argue how much fault jockey Umberto Rispoli deserves for the trouble Journalism has encountered over his past three races, but how much do you trust him?
