The 2025 Belmont Stakes was the 157th running of the Belmont Stakes. It took place on Saturday, June 7, for the second year in a row at Saratoga Race Course. The race was won by 2025 Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, making him the first colt since Triple Crown winner Justify in 2018 to win at least two legs of the Triple Crown. The stakes race had a $2 million purse. The race was run without the Triple Crown at stake as Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty did not run in the Preakness, thus forsaking the chance at the title.
