Sovereignty recorded the quickest five-furlong time of 1:01.4 at Payson Park on Sunday morning, leading a group of 33 graded-stakes winners with published workouts. The four-year-old colt, trained by Bill Mott for owner Godolphin, holds a career record of 9 wins, 2 seconds, and earnings over $5.8 million, including victories in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. Other notable horses, such as Immersive and Journalism, also completed sessions at training facilities across the U.S.
On Sunday morning, a total of 33 horses with prior graded-stakes successes logged workouts at various tracks, providing insight into their preparations ahead of upcoming races. Sovereignty, a son of Into Mischief, covered five furlongs in 1:01.4, outpacing the other six efforts at that distance at Payson Park Training Center. This marked his return to the tab following a four-furlong move seven days earlier. His most recent victory came in the Travers Stakes over 1 1/4 miles at Saratoga on August 23.
Immersive, a three-year-old filly by Nyquist under trainer Brad Cox, handled four furlongs in 49.6 seconds at Payson Park, ranking 25th out of 59 at the distance. Her prior work was also four furlongs there a week ago, building toward her next outing after winning the Seneca Overnight at Churchill Downs on September 20.
Journalism, sired by Curlin and trained by Michael McCarthy, worked five furlongs in 1:02.2 at Santa Anita, placing 56th among 76 similar breezes. The colt's last race was a fourth-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar on November 1.
Additional standouts included Test Score, who breezed three furlongs on turf in 38.1 seconds at Palm Meadows, second-fastest of eight; and Gold Phoenix, covering five furlongs in 1:00.8 at Santa Anita, seventh out of 11. These sessions reflect ongoing training regimens for horses like Usha, who won the La Brea Stakes in December, and Westwood, victor of the San Pasqual in January. Trainers such as Chad Brown and Bob Baffert reported works for several in their stables, emphasizing steady progress without specific race targets mentioned.
