Fierceness is going to be the favorite. Lets see what his speed figure ends up being. I assume its gonna be high. I'm not saying he's gonna win the Derby, just saying he's gonna be the fav. He won't get easy fractions like that in Derby.

[@1upparris100]

"Forever Young" Remember The Name

[@J.Smith-bass]

Totally agree that Fierceness will be the favorite in the derby. I would anticipate that he will get at least a 100 Beyer for this trouncing that he just put on this field. It is clear that he has plenty of ability to win on the first Saturday in May in Louisville, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to take him at a short price in a very large field. If he breaks well then he is a legitimate contender for sure but I think that post position draw may be key for him.

He feels like a sucker's bet in the Ky Derby. He might well blow the field away, but you're going to get 5-2 in a 20 horse field where so many things can go wrong. I couldn't bet him here even though I expected a much better race than the Fountain of Youth.

[@YouDontKnow-that]

That's the thing. So many things can go wrong. At least with a front running/stalking style, you have LESS than can go wrong. Derby is a good race to bet on a long shot, theoretically, simply because so many things can go wrong. Traditionally favorites in Kderby do well, but if I want to strike gold on a bet, the Kentucky Derby is the one I'm gonna try to do it on. I've watched and bet horses since 1997. Silver Charm/Free House/Captain Bodgit!. I've watched every replay of every grade 1 race since the mid 70s. Many many times The older I get, the more I realize how little I know.

[@YouDontKnow-that]

Very well could happen. But he hasn't even made the gate yet in the Derby. I don't know where the "quality" is. Fierceness, when he runs his best, has ran well enough to be a Kentucky Derby winner. That's one thing he has going for him. His best is certainly capable of being a winner. He' shown he can sputter also. Which one is he gonna be on Derby day? As of now, If all horses had the same odds.... he'd be my obvious pick in the derby. Simply because he is good enough to win it.
