The 2025 Belmont Stakes was held on Saturday, June 7, at Saratoga Race Course, marking the 157th edition of this prestigious event. For the second year in a row, the race was relocated from Belmont Park due to ongoing renovations. With a shorter distance and a record $2 million purse, the race attracted eight strong contenders.
Sovereignty, the Kentucky Derby winner, delivered a commanding performance to take first place, confirming his status as one of the season’s top thoroughbreds. Journalism, the Preakness Stakes champion and morning-line favorite, finished second, while Baeza claimed the third spot in a strong closing run. The final order also included Rodriguez, Crudo, Hill Road, Uncaged, and Heart of Honor.
