LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Sovereignty outdueled 3-1 favorite Journalism down the stretch to win the 151st Kentucky Derby in the slop on Saturday, putting trainer Bill Mott in the winner’s circle without delay and snapping an 0 for 13 skid by owner Godolphin.

As expected it was Citizen Bull and Neoequos who set the early pace at the front, but as they came around the final turn to the home stretch, the favorite Journalism and Sovereignty made their late charge to the front. In the end it was Sovereignty that had more speed to close and came across the finish line first ahead of Journalism and Baeza.
