Sovereignty is a Godolphin homebred. It’s the first Derby win for that ownership group. Sovereignty’s sire is Into Mischief and his mare is Crowned, by Bernardini. Sovereignty is now 3-2-0 in six career starts.

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty won't run in the Preakness Stakes. That means there won't be a Triple Crown winner for a seventh consecutive year.

Sovereignty won the 151 st Kentucky Derby Saturday at a sloppy Churchill Downs. At 9-1, fourth when the betting windows closed, the 3-year-old colt edged pre-race favorite Journalism. Jockey Junior Alvarado won his first Derby while owner Bill Mott notched his second.
