Lots of questions for this year's Derby come to mind. Sierra Leone's hesitation and drama loading the gate makes me more than nervous. We have several late runners who love to come from behind (SL is not the only one), we have the home grown Strong Hold who won the Sunland AND Santa Anita. Then to add to the equation, we have the fastest horse of the group, Fierceness, a front running horse. The looming question is whether or not he decides to bring his A Game on Derby Day as he seems to have a history of inconsistency. He may also not prefer a wet or rainy track, so the weather will definitely play into the cards. At this time, I have not quite decided who I think will get the job done. Looking forward to any follow up Derby Outlooks Jay! ~ Judy in NC
I can relate. Non of my friends have a clue about horses, let alone racing. I love it, grew up on a Breeding farm and have followed almost 50 yrs. Fun talk
Jay and Ray, excellent information. I enjoy listening to somebody that knows what their talking about. Fierceness set a track record win margin of 13 3/4 lengths.. Pletcher has won 8 times, and, Johnny V. 6 times. JohnnyV. is one of the best gate jockeys around. Jay, I would enjoy your opinion on other Derby candidates pedigree profile. Thank you, John.
@@nearlai5162 Ages ago. Different story now. He will have company up front. Either SL wins this or Catching Freedom so far. Who knows about the UAE Drby winner? Fierceness did not beat anybody. Sure he won with slow fractions. Travk Phantom will keep him honest, both fade.
I’ve been hoping you would look at the prospects for the Kentucky Derby. Although, today’s winner of the Arkansas Derby Muth is trained by Baffert looked great today, he won’t be running in Lexington.
I think Sierra Leone is a special horse. I don’t think Fierceness will be aloud to gallop out on the lead unchallenged again. The PP draw will decide my wagering strategy.
The Sure Kentucky Derby Favorite Is Fierceness Fierceness Fierceness And They All Have To Catch Him, Serria Leone & Forever Young,,,,Ps,,The Kentucky Derby Trophy Is Coming To Queens, New York,,,,🏰🇺🇸🇯🇲 Mr. KeenObserVatioN PhD,🇯🇲🇺🇸🏰
Fierceness is maximum security without bad step out In turn….or is he a,b and derby is the b. I would be all fierceness except he has on/off pattern. I’m out on Sierra Leone; fools gold; not betting remsen anyone and competition has shown the weakness; track phantom beat was bc track phantom not ok past mile and sixteenth
