Surprising picks from horse racing expert
When is the 2025 Kentucky Derby? The annual Run for the Roses takes place Saturday, May 3, at Churchill Downs at 6:57 p.m. ET

It has been a decade since a jockey had back-to-back wins in the Kentucky Derby, a feat that Brian Hernandez Jr. can pull off when the 2025 Kentucky Derby goes to post on Saturday at Churchill Downs. He rode Mystik Dan to victory a year ago and will be aboard Burnham Square on Saturday. Mystik Dan was a 20-1 longshot, while Burnham Square is 12-1 in the 2025 Kentucky Derby odds. Just three 2025 Kentucky Derby horses are bigger favorites than the Blue Grass Stakes winner, who has prevailed in three of his last four starts.
