Kentucky Derby 2025: post position draw results and morning line odds
Dust off your fanciest hat and mix up some mint juleps, it's officially Kentucky Derby time!
The Run for the Roses kicks off what should be a wildly unpredictable 2025 Triple Crown season with no shortage of contenders and storylines. Infamous trainer Bob Baffert is back at Churchill Downs for the first time in three years following a doping suspension and looking for a record-breaking seventh Derby win. He'll have a few chances to do so, too, with two entries in the field: Rodriguez and Citizen Bull.
There are quite a few other notable trainers vying for the first jewel of the Triple Crown this year, including Kenneth McPeek, Brad Cox, Steve Asmussen and D. Wayne Lukas.
