On a somewhat off track, Sovereignty has won the 151st Kentucky Derby for Godolphin Stable. Journalism, the favorite, came in second, while Baeza came in third.
Baeza, as longtime racing fans know, is named for jockey great Braulio Baeza (born 1940), who, despite all his many wins, is perhaps best remembered for riding the second-place horse in the legendary 1973 Belmont Stakes, Twice a Prince.
The time was 2:02.31. Impressive on this condition of track. The early fractions were quite fast.
Bill Mott is the trainer. Junior Alvarado is the jockey for his first Kentucky Derby.
The winner's pedigree is here. Bernardini is the broodmare sire. He won the 2006 Preakness and Travers.
