William Mott is Sovereignty's trainer. This marks his second Kentucky Derby win after Country House won in 2019. It's his third Triple Crown victory, having trained Drosselmeyer in the 2010 Belmont Stakes. Mott also has 10 Breeders' Cup wins.

Kentucky Derby has come and gone, giving fans another exciting finish. Sovereignty defeated Journalism down the stretch to win the 151st Kentucky Derby. Baeza finished third in the race, while Final Gambit came in fourth.

As expected it was Citizen Bull and Neoequos who set the early pace at the front, but as they came around the final turn to the home stretch, the favorite Journalism and Sovereignty made their late charge to the front. In the end it was Sovereignty that had more speed to close and came across the finish line first ahead of Journalism and Baeza.
