2025 Kentucky Derby Contenders Early Look! What makes these 10 horses special? 🐎

I studied the early 2025 Kentucky Derby points races that awarded less than 100 points to the winner and found 10 horses that have the potential to be top Kentucky Derby contenders. It is still early and with races awarding 100 points to the winner, the points landscape will change over the next few weeks leading up to Kentucky Derby 151. However, it is never too early to get to know the horses that may end up in the starting gate on the first Saturday in May 2025. Listen as I take you through the careers of each horse and why they stand out in my very early top 10. Will Bob Baffert be back in the winner's circle with either Barnes or Citizen Bull? Will Journalism write his way into the history books? Will Sovereignty reign supreme for Bill Mott? Will Coal Battle battle for the lead and bring Lonnie Briley a dream come true? Will American Promise deliver on his promise of speed and award hall of famer D Wayne Lukas another trip to the Kentucky Derby winner's circle? Will Chad Brown find his Kentucky Derby winner with Chancer McPatrick? Can River Thames bring Todd Pletcher another Kentucky Derby victory? Don't sleep on Sandman! He and Mark Casse have plans to use his come from behind super power on the first Saturday in May. Will Captain Cook progress and be in the starting gate for Rick Dutrow?
