How do you choose between Journalism, Barnes, and Citizen Bull and what about newcomers Baeza and Westwood? I provide you with the stats you need to know as you compare these talented runners in the Santa Anita Derby. The 2025 Santa Anita Derby may only have 5 contenders competing for 75 points awarded to the winner, but it is a contentious field with horses lighting up the 2025 Kentucky Derby trail. The Santa Anita Derby is held on Saturday April 5th, 2025 and is a key stop on the road to the Kentucky Derby. Do you have the information you need to select your winner? Journalism, trained by Michael McCarthy, has won two Kentucky Derby prep races in amazing fashion and exhibited some of the best speed we have seen in the Kentucky Derby 151 prep races. He already has a win over Barnes, Bob Baffert's $3.2MM Into Mischief colt named after his longtime assistant, Jimmy Barnes. Barnes is talented and also has great speed ratings. Then there is Citizen Bull, also trained by Bob Baffert, who is our two year old champ, winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile race. He is all class and fast as well. Finally trainer John Shirreffs enters two horses, Westwood, who is still a maiden, and Baeza, the Santa Anita buzz horse.
