Who won the 2025 Kentucky Derby? Full results and payouts
Three-year-old colt Sovereignty, listed at 9-1 odds at post time, won the 151st Kentucky Derby in 2:02.3 on a rainy Saturday at Churchill Downs, thundering down a sloppy track that coated every horse and jockey in mud.
It was the first Derby victory for jockey Junior Alvarado and the second for trainer Bill Mott, whose horse Country House won in 2019.

Sovereignty started deep in the pack, as Bob Baffert's Citizen Bull took an early lead and held it for the race's first half. Then, in the final stretch, Sovereignty swung to the outside alongside Journalism, an early favorite to win.
The pair surged to the front, both pushing for the lead. But Sovereignty dug out a final charge to cross the line first, leading Journalism by 1.5 lengths.
Rounding out the top three was Baeza, who made the field Thursday after Baffert's other horse, Rodriquez, was scratched from the race. Final Gambit and Owen Almighty took fourth and fifth, respectively.
The top-five finishers split the $5 million purse, with Sovereignty earning $3.1 million. Only 19 horses competed in Saturday's race, following Rodriguez and Grande's scratches.
A $2 bet on a Sovereignty win paid out at $17.96. A $.50 trifecta of Sovereignty, Journalism and Baeza paid $115.56, and a superfecta with Final Gambit paid out $1,682.27 on a $1 bet.
Here are the full results for the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby:
1st: No. 18 Sovereignty
2nd: No. 8 Journalism
3rd: No. 21 Baeza
4th: No. 3 Final Gambit

Aaron Rodgers Confirms He Got Married a 'Couple Months' Ago in Surprise Wedding
Aaron Rodgers has tied the knot! The NFL quarterback, 41, told media during a press conference on Tuesday, June 10, that he is married. He said the wedding took place "a couple months" ago, but did not share any other details. Brittani. Then news comes just days after the athlete signed a new contract to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers first revealed that he was dating a woman named Brittani — who is quite private, and has no social media — in late 2024, and later sparked rumors that he had gotten married. While the star athlete was attending the 2025 Barnstable Brown Gala in Louisville, Ky., on May 2 ahead of the Kentucky Derby, he was spotted sporting a dark-colored band on his ring finger, leading fans on social media to speculate that he and Brittani had said "I do." At the time, a representative for Rodgers did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Rodgers first publicly mentioned Brittani on The Pat McAfee Show in December 2024, casually dropping the life update while discussing his Christmas shopping. At the time, he recalled a stressful situation where a package he ordered for Brittani was delayed. After co-host AJ Hawk reacted to the revelation by jokingly asking, 'Spears?' Rodgers clarified, "Not Brittany Spears, no, this is Brittani with an 'i.' ' And later, when McAfee and others on the show poked fun at Rodgers for being "in love," the grinning star appeared to confirm his feelings, replying, 'It's a good feeling boys. It is.' The star appeared on the show again in April 2025, and shared that the relationship is 'serious." "I'm in a different phase of my life," he explained. "I'm 41 years old. I'm in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention.' Before tying the knot with Brittani, Rodgers — who has been vocal about his desire to remain out of the public eye — had several high-profile relationships. Most recently, he was linked to Mallory Edens, a model and the daughter of one of the Milwaukee Bucks' primary owners, Wes Edens. He was also previously engaged to Shailene Woodley until the exes called off their engagement in February 2022 and fully ended their relationship that April. Rodgers also dated both Olivia Munn and retired NASCAR driver Danica Patrick.

The NFL star previously opened up about his past high-profile relationships in his 2024 Netflix docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, stating that given his distaste for the public eye, he "didn't do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated." 'I definitely hated it at first — like, really despised it,' Rodgers said about fame. 'I enjoyed my private life. I enjoyed being able to go places. But from Super Bowl MVP, MVP, State Farm commercials, that got a little bit more difficult.' Read the original article on People
