(6-6-25) Tomorrow’s Belmont Stakes could produce and (Almost) Triple Crown winner….Journalism who won the Preakness and came in a very close 2nd to Sovereignty at the Kentucky Derby. Journalism is the only runner to compete in all three races this year.
Kentucky Derby finish...so close for Journalism.
Sovereignty with a Belmont win would pick up his 2nd Triple Crown win….giving this race lots of incentives for the winner.
There have been 52 horses who have won two of the three Triple Crown races throughout history.
- Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes: 23 horses
- Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes: 18 horses
- Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes: 11 horses
