JK and PTF return to break down four of their favorite longshots for the 2025 Kentucky Derby—potential game-changers that could help you hit a life-changing score on racing’s biggest day. Whether you’re playing to win or chasing massive exacta, trifecta, superfecta, or Super High Five paydays, longshots are essential for unlocking value in a wide-open 20-horse Derby field. In this episode, we revisit some early opinions from Volume 1, including whether JK is still sticking with East Avenue after the post position draw, and how the draw affected the boys' longshot strategies. Plus, PTF and JK offer up new longshot options to consider for your tickets.
King of the Track requires customers to opt in and place their qualifying bet of a ($5+) Win wager on a single horse in the 2025 Kentucky Derby. Only the first straight single-horse Win wager on the Kentucky Derby placed after opt-in is eligible. Multi-Horse, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, and Multi-Race wagers are not eligible.
If the horse you place your qualifying Win bet on finishes first in the Kentucky Derby, you will earn a share of $1 MILLION in bonus cash distributed equally among all customers who used the Derby Champion in their King of the Track eligible wager.
For example, if 10,000 DK Horse users place their first $5+ Win bet (after opt-in) on Burnham Square and he finishes first in the Kentucky Derby, they will all receive $100 in cash to their DK Horse wallet, via click-to-claim.
