2025 Withers Stakes odds, horses, lineup: Kentucky-based bettor reveals full leaderboard, top picks

Jody Demling has revealed his Withers Stakes 2025 picks

One horse can take a big step toward qualifying for the Kentucky Derby when the starting gate opens in the 2025 Withers Stakes on Saturday at Aqueduct Racetrack in South Ozone Park, N.Y. The winner of the Withers will earn 20 Derby qualifying points and will move into the top 10 of the Kentucky Derby points leaderboard. The top 18 point earners after the Lexington Stakes on April 12 will automatically qualify for the Run for the Roses on May 3. For Saturday, the Richard Dutrow-trained Captain Cook has been made the lukewarm 5-2 morning-line favorite in the 2025 Withers Stakes odds. Uncle Jim (3-1), Mo Quality (3-1), Omaha Omaha (4-1) and Global Steve (6-1) round out the top five choices among the 2025 Withers Stakes horses. Post time for the race is 3:46 p.m. ET. 

With several unproven 3-year-olds set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you NEED to see what horse racing guru Jody Demling has to say before making any 2025 Withers Stakes picks.

A fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing about, talking about and betting on races for years, Demling has nailed the Kentucky Oaks-Derby double 11 times in the last 16 years. He also predicted the winner of the Belmont Stakes four of the last seven years and called 10 of the last 20 Preakness winners, including 2023 when he hit the winner, exacta, trifecta and superfecta as well as the trifecta in 2024. Anyone who has followed him is way up.

For the 2025 Withers Stakes, we can tell you Demling's top pick is not Captain Cook, even though he is the 5-2 morning-line favorite.

Instead, Demling's top pick is a horse who will be "on the front end." He's including this horse in his 2025 Withers Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any of your own!
