2025 Belmont Stakes Payouts, Purse, Results at Saratoga

2025 Belmont Stakes payouts, purse, full results: Sovereignty wins.

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty was the best horse in the field again on Saturday night, running to victory in the 2025 Belmont Stakes.

Sovereignty ran past Preakness Stakes winner Journalism and crossed the wire first at Saratoga Race Course in 2:00.69. (Sovereignty did not run the Preakness last month.)

After beating the betting favorite in the Kentucky Derby, Sovereignty skipped the Preakness Stakes, which Journalism then won on May 17.

Sovereignty became the first horse to win the Kentucky Derby, purposefully miss the Preakness Stakes and win the Belmont Stakes.

Here's a look at the basic payouts after the 157th Belmont Stakes, as well as the final finishing order.
