In this horse racing video recorded on 3-23-25, Jarrod Horak analyzes the Grade 1, $1.5 million Arkansas Derby.

Arkansas Derby field: 1 – Brereton’s Baytown (30-1), 2 – First Division (20-1), 3 – Publisher (6-1), 4 – Bestfriend Rocket (20-1), 5 – Speed King (15-1), 6 – Sandman (3-1), 7 – Monet’s Magic (20-1), 8 – Coal Battle (7-2), 9 – Cornucopian (7-5).

The Arkansas Derby is the 13th race at Oaklawn Park on Saturday, March 29, 2025, and this is a Kentucky Derby 2025 points race.

I am covering all of the road to Kentucky Derby prep races on my YouTube Channel, and through the first 30 points races, my top choices have 6 wins, 5 runner-up finishes, and 3 show finishes. Two of my top choices scratched, so I am officially 6-for-28.
