The 151st running of the Kentucky Derby is set to take place on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. According to Microsoft Copilot AI’s predictions, Journalism is the clear favorite to win the first leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown this year. The field has been drawn with Journalism drawing the No. 8 starting post, which has produced the second-most Kentucky Derby winners all-time.
Journalism boasts a strong record, having won its last four races, including the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 5 by three-quarters of a length. The AI predicted Journalism would win at odds of 3-1, followed closely by Sandman and Sovereignty.
However, when analyzing the entire field, Microsoft Copilot AI’s predictions suggested that the finish order would be different from the initial odds. Here is a breakdown of the AI’s picks:
* Winner: Journalism (3-1)
* Show: Sandman
* Place: Sovereignty
The Kentucky Derby will be broadcast on NBC and USA Network, with streaming options available on Fubo and Peacock. The event starts at 6:45 p.m. ET on May 3, 2025.
