The 2025 Kentucky Derby will kick off the Triple Crown on Saturday with 20 horses, led by morning-line favorite Journalism at 3-1 odds. Journalism, trained by Michael McCarthy, has won three graded-stakes races including the Santa Anita Derby, and will be challenged by Sovereignty and Sandman, with odds of 5-1 and 6-1, respectively. The Derby field also includes Baeza, who entered after the scratch of Rodriguez, and the event promises excitement following last year’s close finish.
