I had this horse on my radar since the Fall of 2024. Knowing people in the game, the trainer very humbly said he had a special horse. I want to again thank the Covers Crew for the kudos given this way for my Derby write up. For the Belmont Stakes, the pick is the same.
Sovereignty made his trip perfect in Louisville because he was the best horse. Journalism ran really well in the Derby, but was second best. Journalism made a terrific move in the stretch of the Preakness, but was life and death to run down a longshot. I believe the trouble he encountered was because he was not good enough early to get position. Journalism is good, but he’s not Sovereignty. Can Rodriguez go gate to wire? I believe Mott’s charge can run him down.
Sovereignty won at Gulfstream, one of the shortest stretch runs in the country. He won at Churchill, one of the longest stretch runs in the country. Saratoga is almost 64 yards further than GP. This guy is special.
Fantastic trainer. Underrated jockey, who absolutely fits this horse. On Saturday, I’m physically in attendance at Saratoga, watching Sovereignty.
Wagering wise? I’m not getting the 7-1 from the Derby. Sovereignty owes me nothing after his win in Kentucky. If he is 2-1 or more…win bet. May also fool around with the undercard, leading up to horizontal possibilities with my selection.
Good luck all!
