SOVEREIGNTY rules supreme in the Kentucky Derby! | Sovereignty wins a thriller at Churchill Downs

And they're off in the Kentucky Derby and some crowding down toward the inside. Journalism has a smooth start, but he was shuffled back soon thereafter. Citizen Bull racing right to the lead, and he comes well off the rail. Citizen Bull, five wide bias the first time. NeoEquus right there in between racing in second. Oh, and Almighty on the far outside is third. And American Promise gets a coveted spot saving ground on inside fourth. Edmire Daytona is out of there running in fifth. East Avenue from off the pace in six. Burnham Squares tethered to the rail with Brian Hernandez. They're running in seventh. Chunk of Gold is eighth. Cole Battle racing mid-pack ninth. Journalism, Umberto Rispoli has him down inside tenth. They're about 10 lengths off the lead as they head to the backstretch run. Flying Mohawk is racing in 11th. Render Judgment on the far outside is 12th. Luxor Cafe is 13th. Publisher is 14th. Paisa, 15th. Sovereignty, 16th. Tiztastic, 17th. Sandman is the last of the 19 through a strong opening. Half and 46 and one-fifth seconds down the backstretch. They go here at Churchill Downs. Citizen Bull leads the way to the far turn. NeoEquus trying to keep pace. American Promise tried to split those two, is coming under a ride. Oh, and Almighty advances up, grabs third. Oh, and Almighty's now third round the far turn. Umberto says go with Journalism. Journalism rocketing past horses. He's up to fourth on the outside and Sovereignty's following him. Don't forget Sandman. Final Gamut goes to the far outside, too. They're off the turn. Here comes Journalism. Here comes Sovereignty. And they square off heading to the final furlong of the Kentucky Derby. Final Gamut and Baeza trying to close in late. Sovereignty has taken the lead. Journalism has to fight back. Journalism has lost the lead to Sovereignty. It's time for the Royal Blue to don some red. Sovereignty wins the derby.
