The Jerome Stakes and Smarty Jones Stakes were run on Saturday, January 4, 2025, and both were Kentucky Derby 2025 points races.

I am covering all of the road to Kentucky Derby prep races on my YouTube Channel, and through the first 12 points races, my top choices have 4 wins, 2 runner-up finishes, and a show finish. The next Derby points race is the Lecomte Stakes at Fair Grounds on Saturday, January 18, 2025.
