The 2025 Kentucky Derby
The 2025 Kentucky Derby will feature 19 horses, with a post time of 6:57 p.m. on Saturday, boasting a $5 million prize pool, making it the richest race outside the Breeder’s Cup. The favorite, Journalism, is listed at 3-1 odds, but recent rain at Churchill Downs may lead to unpredictable conditions. All participating horses qualified through the Road to the Kentucky Derby points system, with horse No. 21 Baeza entering due to scratches in the field.
