Sovereignty not only won the Derby but did what 2019 winner Country House could not for trainer Bill Mott — he crossed first.

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty has arrived in Saratoga Springs.

Just a few days after winning the Kentucky Derby, Sovereignty was ruled out of running in the Preakness Stakes. It is the second time in four years the owner and trainer of the Derby champion opted to skip the Preakness in favor of the Belmont Stakes in June.
