      Some guy commented he looked like a rookie!!After he wins a $1millionrace.Said he'll get dq'ed at Churchill if he doesn't straighten up.I'll take them all day picking up fat checks

      He did like green. The whole stretch run was the horse almost running into other horses.

      What a tremendous close! Was he closing that fast or were the the others standing still? The short time between races bothers some of them. The Derby is a whole different game.

    He swept by a large field impressively, but the fractions were swift and the final time wasn't great. Still, he'll probably be the Derby favorite after that run.

      Sierra Leone will be my top pick most likely. If Fierceness brings his A game and can handle the distance, then Sierra is running for 2nd. I just don't trust Fierceness enough. Sierra seems more reliable.

  • @brotherderek

    At the end of his races, after giving up a lot of ground, he still hits a gear the others don't have. Unless FIERCENESS runs away and hides, this is the Derby winner IMHO. Hope he gets some kind of trip and can run down the stretch with a path.

      @@RMoore713ify He's done that in every race. Sure, it would be better to run straight, but I am not sure what "not really a great sign" means. He runs faster than the others while running crooked. Imagine when he doesn't lug in?

      @RMoore713ify Před 2 měsíci

      @brotherderek it means he's getting tired. Any experienced horse player knows that. I'm sure you do too. It also is an especially bad harbinger as the distances increase, which will happen Saturday.
      Is this a great horse? Absolutely. But do you want to risk money for 3-1 for a horse that lugs in when this is a 20 horse race? Only you can make that decision for yourself. And I know enough not to blame anyone who does. All I'm saying is there is something not to like about this horse. This is not a shoe-in on paper.

    • @brotherderek
      @brotherderek Před 2 měsíci

      @@RMoore713ify As an experienced horseplayer, I would never say any horse, this side of Flightline, is a shoe in. As the horse lugs in, in the last three starts, not sure if being tired is the issue. Also, I am not taking 3-1, because I aim for bigger prizes like the pick 4 or, in the race, exactas, trifectas and superfectas. Anyway, good luck. We all have our opinions. So, give me yours, so I can poke holes in it LOL

    Dornach had no excuses in this race. He was sitting 4th off the pace for most of the race. In the stretch he changed lanes and wavered. He looked like a tired horse the last 1/8. Don't know why handicappers are still making him a KD contender.

  • @David-di6jf
    @David-di6jf Před 3 měsíci

    Don't like S.L.'s running style for the Kentucky Derby. For one, he will need other speed horses to help set up his closing style. He seems to prefer running from too far back. In the Bluegrass he had the other Brown runners in there; Top Conor helped carve a fast pace. And the runners in the Blue Grass proved to be not that strong a group.TG said he made the lead too easy, despite being way back, due in part to the weak group he faced. He was bothered in the gate at the break by the large crowd. He most likely needs more seasoning, having run only 4 times. The Blue Grass victory looks a lot like Zandon's run, in which he won the BG but hung in the final furlong in the KD.

      Fierceness can't handle any adversity and you know what you get in a 20 horse field? Plenty of adversity. The likelihood of Fierceness winning the Derby is almost nothing. And it doesn't help that his trainer is one of the worst dopers in the business.
