Jimmy Fallon Helps Puppies Make Kentucky Derby Prediction

The Triple Crown season is here, with the first leg of the biggest and most prestigious horse racing series in the world coming right up this Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville for the 151st running of "The Run for the Roses."

That also means it's high time for people to make their picks on which horse will win the race that's also referred to as the "Fastest Two Minutes in Sports." 

On Thursday night, Jimmy Fallon and some adorable creatures tried to help people make their Kentucky Derby decisions during "The Tonight Show." 

A group of cute puppies was lined up for a mini-race, each representing a horse that will be racing at the Derby.

A trumpeter even played the "Assembly of the Buglers" tune before Fallon instructed to "release the puppies."

After just several seconds, the No. 3 puppy representing "Sandman" was deemed the winner of the race.

"Sandman will be crowned the 2025 Kentucky Derby champion," declared Fallon while holding the winning puppy.
