Encore. Sovereignty duplicates Derby victory with decisive score over Journalism, Baeza and others in 157th running of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. Bill Mott and the Godolphin team made the decision to bypass the middle jewel of the Triple Crown in favor of the third and made it count in front of a big crowd at Saratoga. We cover all the action from a thrilling Belmont Day, including Raging Torrent in the Met Mile, Patch Adams in the Woody Stephens and Book’em Danno in the True North.
Heavy rains Friday and Saturday morning led to the postponement of two Grade 1s Saturday – the Jaipur and Manhattan – and they’ll be run on today’s Belmont Stakes Festival closing card. Don’t miss our fourth edition of the festival, which also includes columns from Sean and Joe Clancy and The Power Grid handicapping page.
