Sovereignty won the neck-and-neck race with Journalism down the final stretch of the Kentucky Derby. The horse produced a second Derby win for trainer William I. Mott and the first Derby victory for jockey Junior Alvarado. Mott won his other Derby title with Country House in 2019, but that victory came after Maximum Security was disqualified.

Kentucky Derby 151 has officially come to a close, and your race winner is Sovereignty. The rain didn't stop the crowd from coming to Louisville, Kentucky, to experience the once in a lifetime event.

That’s a fitting mint julep toast for Sovereignty, who won Saturday’s Kentucky Derby on a sloppy track at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., winning in a field of 19 3-year-old colts who chased the $3.1 million prize and a blanket of roses.
