Journalism or Sovereignty? Jody Demling, who has nailed four of the last seven Belmont Stakes winners, just revealed his 2025 Belmont Stakes picks for Saturday, June 7 at Saratoga Race Course

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.

Sovereignty reigns supreme in more than just geopolitics. The horse with the same name won the running of the 2025 Belmont Stakes on Saturday afternoon, with Journalism finishing in second. Journalism (5-2) and No. 2 Sovereignty (2-1) were essentially co-favorites to win the race going into the final leg of the Triple Crown at Saratoga Race Course.
