Sovereignty's win brings a big payday for owner group Godolphin, trainer Bill Mott and jockey Junior Alvarado, as they'll split the $3.1 million winnings (80% to the owners and 10% each to the trainer and jockey).

Sovereignty is also trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, who earned his second Derby victory. His previous win came in 2019 with Country House. While Sovereignty may not have been a heavy underdog entering Saturday's action, it was still an impressive finish.
