The 2025 Kentucky Derby is set to take place on Saturday with a full field of 20 horses competing for the coveted title. Journalism, trained by Michael McCarthy and currently favored at 7-2 odds, has taken over as the top contender after Bob Baffert’s Rodriguez was scratched due to defection.
Journalism will start from post position No. 7, having moved up from No. 8 following another horse’s withdrawal. Sovereignty, trained by Bill Mott and initially second choice at 5-1, now sits at 9-1 odds after being shifted to post position No. 16.
The other contenders include Citizen Bull (14-1), Neoequos (50-1), Final Gambit (16-1), American Promise (13-1), Admire Daytona (40-1), Luxor Cafe (12-1), and Burnham Square (16-1). Sandman, trained by Mark Casse, remains a top contender at 9-2 odds.
