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.
