Journalism Belmont Prediction and Pick
Journalism has had the top recent form of any horse in the field, recording a 105+ speed score in four of its last five races.
Journalism reached a speed score of 109 during its win at Pimlico. Although, Sovereignty did not race in Preakness. The last time these two horses faced each other was at the Kentucky Derby when Journalism finished 2nd to Sovereignty.
Journalism is a favorite for good reason, but it will interesting to witness how this rematch plays out.
