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.

Baeza is the talented colt who placed handily behind Journalism in their major prep. But that wasn't enough to get him a stall in the Churchill gate. He's in Purgatory.
