Analyzing Fierceness, Forever Young and other 2024 Kentucky Derby favorites | NBC Sports

[@peppywood01]

I was very impressed by Sierra Leone today!

[@anthonyrazza1344]

Sierra Leone, Catching Freedom are the two I like most. Fierceness is not built for the 1/4 on the dames side, he'll get used up to get to the front/lead, done in the stretch.

[@steeloned]

Me too, a fast pace suits him.

[@joek7742]

I think both closers Catching Freedom and Sierra Leone will be very tough at 11/4 distance and catch the front runners including Fierceness. To the eye they just look like serious contenders and their prep races show it. So I Can't wait to watch how they navigate through that large field and then show off their closing charge!

[@Darrellbythelake]

Forever Young could just be that good.

[@YouDontKnow-that]

When you "that" good. What is the "that" that are referring to?

[@anthonyrazza1344]

If he is that good, run him here where the prep races are! Not one has taken that way to the Derby! IF he wins, my hats off to him!

[@YouDontKnow-that]

@@anthonyrazza1344 They did run him where the prep races are. What's your complaint?

[@Deznutz6969]

He s better then tht good,he may be a special horse..I m all in on him..

[@Deznutz6969]

@@anthonyrazza1344 I imagine it gets pretty expensive to move to the US on hopes u make the derby ..The trainer is proven he can win our biggest races and seems to have had a great plan because FY is 5-0 and in the derby ..lol

It'll Be Interesting On What Post Positions Do The Top Favorites Draw For The Derby!

[@tomgolden1673]

I'm all in on Fierceness,his sire was a great one only an injury forced him out of the Derby. I like Fierceness's chances to win the Derby and go on to win the Triple Crown.He is fresh and fit to make that run with all his talent yet to be scene,STAY TUNED !

[@michellenainkristinabusch1221]

No triple crown winner.

[@nilsontorres6188]

Voy al 17 ya ese gano

[@abdinaserabdilahi9588]

Catching Freedom 150th Kentucky derby winner. Thank me later 😂

[@mattyg-r1x]

Dornoch what happened today

[@ianchefking5416]

How Impressive Can You Be With A Horse That Finis In 12.4 Losing Ground To On The Lead Fierceness Who Ran The 1/8 In 12.3

[@josebanda6873]

El japones forever young .....puede dar la sorpresa

[@anthonyrazza1344]

Till a Japanese horse runs, and, wins in a prep race here, I can't consider them.

[@Deznutz6969]

I thank u and all who think that way .. Thats a lazy take but not everyone can truly handicap ..

[@johndcornell6341]

Just Steel in my gut ! Iol

[@Quiltedcobra_529]

Yes!! Just steel is my gut instinct too

[@michellenainkristinabusch1221]

The dams of Sierra Leone and Forever Young are 3/4 sisters.

[@garypatrick312]

Fierceness should win the kentucky derby easily the exacta horses are strong hold and sierra leona catching freedom have an outside chance of toppling them for the second but its fierceness for me come derby day

[@YouDontKnow-that]

Why should he win easily ?

[@Deznutz6969]

Keep sleeping on Forever Young because of other horses who weren t on this horses level.. Derma was a good one but had a ton of trouble. Forever Young just ran the fastest final 400m ever in the UAE and did it geared down..He s looked great on churchills track and he s the first horse in my power rankings.Of course the PP matters but this horse is as good as anyone in the derby if not better..

[@Quiltedcobra_529]

Just Steel is the one

[@TetraTerezi]

feiceness and forever young and maybe only 2 dead horses.

[@shotgunshell80]
