The 157th Belmont Stakes is set for Saturday, June 7, as the final leg of the Triple Crown unfolds at Saratoga Race Course for the second consecutive year.

The victory means that Sovereignty won two of the three races in this year’s Triple Crown series. Sovereignty is the first horse to win both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes since 2018, when Justify did it as part of his Triple Crown-winning campaign.

The final Triple Crown race of the year features eight horses in the field, down from 10 a year ago. The distance at Saratoga? Slightly shorter.
