Inside Secrets to Winning Big on the 2025 Kentucky Derby and Oaks Straight Bets and Exotics at Churchill Downs
Without further ado, let’s get into my Kentucky Oaks, Derby, and double picks.Â
Thirteen horses on a 1 1/8-mile dirt track for 3-year-old fillies with a $1.5M purse.Â
The starting gate is perfect for Simply Joking, who has the fastest “early pace” in this field. She has run faster in all three races and won her only start on a wet track. This might be useful because the weather forecast indicates a two-thirds chance of rain and thunderstorms around post time.Â
Simply Joking has back-to-back strong workouts clocking 47 seconds in four furlongs and 58 seconds in a five-furlong work at Churchill. For context, 12 seconds per furlong is considered fast. We are getting a good number since she’s been priced between $1.70-$3 in her first three races.Â
