Journalism is the favorite in the 151st Kentucky Derby. Four months ago, he and his trainer were displaced by the destructive wildfires in southern California.

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.

Sovereignty outdueled 3-1 favorite Journalism down the stretch to win the 151st Kentucky Derby in the slop on Saturday. Trainer Bill Mott won his first Derby in 2019, also run on a sloppy track, when Country House was elevated to first after Maximum Security crossed the finish line first and was disqualified after a 22-minute delay.
