The last horse to run in an all three legs of the Triple Crown and win both the Derby and Belmont was Thunder Gulch in 1995.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Journalism had entered as the heavy favorite after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/journalism-wins-150th-preakness-stakes\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">winning the Preakness<\/a><\/span>.

Bob Baffert-trained Rodriguez was in the Belmont after being scratched from the Derby because of a minor foot bruise that also kept the colt out of the Preakness.<\/p>\n<p>Sovereignty is owned by Godolphin and trained by Bill Mott. Godolphin is the racing stable of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. \u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>Jockey Junior Alvarado, who rode Sovereignty to victory at the Derby, was also his mount on Saturday.

Alvarado is appealing the decision. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Belmont took place for a second consecutive time at the historic Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York. The New York Racing Association temporarily relocated it there while Belmont Park on Long Island undergoes nearly half-a-billion dollars in renovations.<\/p>\n<p>Because it was held at Saratoga, the Belmont was 1 1\/4 miles long instead of the usual 1 1\/2 miles, making the race known as the Test of the Champion the same length as the Derby.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/sovereignty-wins-157th-belmont-stakes\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a rematch that lived up to its billing, Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty galloped to victory over Journalism in muddy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1751],"class_list":["post-30993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-horse-racing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty defeats Journalism again to take the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes - World News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The race marked a kind of replay of the Kentucky Derby.
