Sovereignty

Sovereignty closed from last of 10 to finish fourth in his career debut sprinting six furlongs at Saratoga on Aug. 24 ,2024. The Godolphin homebred Into Mischief colt made his second start in a one-turn mile race Sept. 27 at Belmont at the Big A and improved to check in a close second, losing by a neck.

Trainer Bill Mott then stretched Sovereignty out to two turns in the 1 1/16-mile Street Sense Stakes Oct. 27 at Churchill Downs. Sent off as the post-time favorite, the bay colt trailed the field through six furlongs before swinging into contention with a six-wide move coming out of the far turn. He powered clear in early stretch under jockey Junior Alvarado to earn his first career win by five lengths in a Grade 3 stakes, earning 10 qualifying points for the 2025 Kentucky Derby Woodford Reserve in the process.

Sovereignty had four months off following the Street Sense Stakes triumph and made his return to the racetrack in his 3-year-old debut in the Grade 2 $400,000 Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes going 1 1/16 miles at Gulfstream Park on March 1, 2025. Sovereignty used every bit of that 1 1/16-mile trip when he made a last-to-first rally to earn the impressive victory, catching the leading River Thames at the wire by a neck. The Fountain of Youth Stakes was another points race on the road to the 2025 Kentucky Derby, and with his victory, Sovereignty earned 50 more points for a total of 60.

Sovereignty is out of the unraced Bernardini mare Crowned. His second dam is millionaire and Grade 1 winner Mushka.
