Kentucky Derby odds: 2 co-favorites top 109 Vegas choices
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
Barnes has company at the top of the Kentucky Derby 2025 futures board in Las Vegas. He is a familiar face who Barnes probably sees every day in the stable of trainer Bob Baffert.
Citizen Bull, who won the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes nine days ago at Santa Anita, shortened from 14-1 last Sunday to join Barnes at 10-1, making them co-favorites at Caesars Sportsbook Nevada.
John Hancock puts name on Sam F. Davis win.
While they became the joint top choices in the middle of the week, the odds shortened for 16 of the top 25 choices to win the Derby on May 3. Debut winner Gunmetal had the biggest drop, going from 110-1 to 40-1 in spite of his third-place result Feb. 1 in the Swale Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
Other big cuts came with Patch Adams going from 35-1 to 20-1, Chancer McPatrick from 45-1 to 30-1 and Ferocious from 80-1 to 33-1. All three finished off the board in their most recent starts.
The fixed-odds market available in person in Nevada or via licensed proxy will be joined nationally this week by the fourth pari-mutuel pool of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager run by Churchill Downs. KDFW betting will be open from Friday at noon until Sunday at 6 p.m. EST.
These were the Kentucky Derby 2025 futures odds showing Sunday at 6 p.m. EST on the Caesars and William Hill Nevada apps. They are shown with their odds from last Sunday.
