Six of the eight horses entered into the 2025 Belmont Stakes could be considered dark horses to win the third leg of the Triple Crown.

Sovereignty, who skipped the Preakness after upsetting Journalism to win the Run for the Roses, was tagged with 2-1 odds for the Belmont.

Journalism — the Kentucky Derby post-time favorite who finished second in that race, before then winning the Preakness Stakes — is the 8-5 morning-line favorite for Saturday’s 157th running of the Grade 1, $2 million Belmont Stakes. Journalism will begin Saturday’s Belmont from post position No. 7 near the outside of the field.
