The 2025 Kentucky Derby will pit 3-year-old horses against one another on a 1 1/4-mile track. The favorite to claim the first leg is Journalism, who has won four straight starts and is 3-1 according to the latest 2025 Kentucky Derby odds.

Journalism enters this year's race as the favorite, thanks in part to a four-race win streak, including an April 5 victory in the Santa Anita Derby, a come-from-behind victory that saw him make the necessary adjustments to secure the momentum-sustaining win.
