While there'll be no Triple Crown winner in 2025, fans are still in store for plenty of drama at the Belmont Stakes.
The final leg of the Crown will feature a highly anticipated rematch between Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and Preakness winner Journalism. Sovereignty barely beat Journalism in the Derby but subsequently pulled out the Preakness.
Currently, Journalism sits as the 8-5 favorite, with Sovereignty at 2-1 and Baeza at 4-1. Uncaged and Heart of Honor enter as long shots, both at 30-1.
Come Saturday, anything can happen. Will a frontrunner secure the finish or an underdog?
