Welcome to the Kentucky Derby 2025
The showpiece event in the race calendar is back with us once again.
Some great horses have won this race over the years and the fans cannot get enough of this annual event.
156,710 attended last year and it is expected to be more again in 2025.
We can only hope for something as exciting as last year which saw the first three-way photo finish since 1947.
The jockey at the lead of that finish was Brian Hernandez Jr., and he'll be aboard Burnham Square at the 2025 Kentucky Derby.
Burnham Square is a middle-tier contender at 12-1 in the 2025 Kentucky Derby odds.
2025 Kentucky Derby horses with single-digit horse racing odds include Journalism (3-1), Sovereignty (5-1) and Sandman (6-1).
