Danny Sheridan's 2025 Patch Predictions

25 weekends of rain in a row, with no end in sight! "The Patch Sprint has enjoyed too many consecutive years of beautiful sunshine. We were due for a rainy race day!"

This is the 26th year that USA Today oddsmaker Danny Sheridan has placed Patch predictions. Last year, Sheridan hit on 3 of 5 divisions, although the 2 misses were from the Men's & Women's racing. "The field has become so deep and strong, it's becoming more of a toss up with every year!"

Sheridan, the "Seer of Seers; the Prognosticator of Patches", is once again doubling down on incorrect predictions from the past. "If I stick to my guns, I will eventually be correct!", said Sheridan, speaking on his picks for the Men's and Women's Racers.

The wet conditions this spring have slowed the course down slightly, but these athletes have had no choice but to run in the rain this year. "They're ready for the challenge, and I think some actually prefer chilly rain as opposed to hot sun"
