The 2025 Santa Anita Derby takes place this Saturday, April 5, at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. Live coverage begins at 7 PM ET on CNBC and Peacock. Since only five horses are entered in the race, only 75 percent of the 200 possible Kentucky Derby points are set to be awarded on a 75 / 37.50 / 18.75 / 11.25 / 7.5 scale. If a horse scratches and only four run, then points will be awarded on a 50 / 25 / 12.5 / 7.5 scale. Click here
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has two horses entered in Saturday's race: Citizen Bull, the reigning 2-year-old Champion, and Barnes. Citizen Bull has secured a spot in the Kentucky Derby field with 60 points, but Barnes will need to finish in the top two to qualify.
Journalism, trained by Michael McCarthy, looks to secure another win at Santa Anita. The $825k auction purchase is considered the Kentucky Derby favorite after defeating Barnes in the G2 San Felipe last month.
