The 2025 Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the US Triple Crown, will occur at Saratoga as Belmont Park undergoes construction. This alteration results in a shorter race distance of a mile-and-a-quarter. With a competitive line-up, Sovereignty, victor of the Kentucky Derby, is a key contender after skipping the Preakness Stakes. Other notable entries include Journalism, Baeza, Rodriguez, Hill Road, and the UK's Heart Of Honour. The shift in venue and the stacked field heightens anticipation for this classic event.

2025 Belmont Stakes Entries


Following a thrilling battle down the stretch at Churchill Downs, Sovereignty saw off Journalism to claim Kentucky Derby glory. 

Billy Mott opted to skip the second leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes with his Classic winner. Journalism, however, overcame a troubled passage to justify even-money favourite and claim his second Group One win on the dirt at Pimlico.

Baeza got into the Kentucky Derby as a reserve, despite finishing second to Journalism in the Santa Anita Derby, and John Shirreffs star put in an excellent performance to finish third. Rodriguez's withdrawal sealed Baeza spot in the Derby, but he returns to action, having won the Wood Memorial on his most recent outing in April.

Chad Brown will throw Hill Road into Classic company, following his victory in the Peter Pan Stakes here at Belmont. The sixth and final entrant is Jamie Osbourne's British raider Heart Of Honour, who remains on Stateside despite a lengthy defeat behind Journalism in the Preakness Stakes.
