Sovereignty | Sarah Andrew

Godolphin homebred 3-year-old Sovereignty (Into Mischief) has been named the 2025 Horse of the Year.

In the final award of the evening, the Champion 3-Year-Old Colt added the ultimate prize to a 2025 campaign which saw him win five of six starts including three Grade I's.

Beginning the year with a win in the GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream, he was defeated just once when second in the GI Curlin Florida Derby. He would go undefeated from there, piling up wins in the GI Kentucky Derby, the GI Belmont Stakes, the GII Jim Dandy Stakes and the GI DraftKings Travers Stakes.

From six starts, he earned $5,692,020.

Sovereignty is Godolphin's second Horse of the Year in the last three years, joining Cody's Wish in 2023.
