Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty galloped to victory in muddy conditions at the 157th Belmont Stakes in Saratoga Springs, New York, on Saturday in the third leg of the Triple Crown.

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty defeats Journalism again to take the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes

The race marked a kind of replay of the Kentucky Derby. Sovereignty finished in first, Journalism ended up in second again and Baeza was third — the same 1-2-3 as the Derby.

Great days racing yesterday, I was at Caulfield for the Cup along with 28,000 others( biggest crowd since pre Covid) plus watching the 50,167 at Randwick took me back quite a few years when crowds were regularly of that size.
Spring racing warming up down in Bleak City, I’m off to the Geelong Cup on Wednesday then the Valley on Friday night and Saturday ( Cox Plate).
The track is closing for 2 years whilst it’s reconfigured and new stands built.
Will be a big day ! Daryl Braithwaite coming along to perform “Horses” for the closure. Melbourne equivalent of “Sweet Caroline “.
