Kentucky Derby winner, Sovereignty, is set for a rematch with Preakness Stakes winner, Journalism, having finished first and second, respectively, in the first leg of the Triple Crown. Journalism was originally favored to win the 2025 Kentucky Derby with 5-1 morning line odds.

Mott was asked about the decision to skip Preakness in his post-race interview following Sovereignty's victory.

Sovereignty won the 2025 Belmont Stakes, completing the Triple Crown season having won both races the horse was entered in.
