I rank the top 5 Kentucky Derby horses. Did Fierceness overtake the top spot after his Florida derby romp?

Is Fierceness another Ballamy Road who won by 17 lengths before the Derby who didnt hit the board back in 2005?😮

No Dornach? The lead change will be the key for Dornach to race his best. I would like to see him hook up again with Sierra Leone, look him in the eye, and show his turn of foot. We’ve seen the speed so getting him to rate off the speed and burn by it on the turn for home would set Dornach up well for the Derby.

Great work! Interesting top 5. A couple things about Fierceness.....He got an easy lead in 24 seconds, and basically was left to do do whatever he wanted after that. Also, it's highly likely he won't get such an easy trip in the Derby. He may face a few bumps and may have to race stalking or in between horses, in trafic. For these reasons, I think he won't win. Your analysis is making me think twice about Forever Young's chances!

Thank you. And of course fierceness would do something like win the florida derby by 13 lengths and add more drama to the derby picture lol

So if Fierceness didn't get the easy lead, maybe he wins by 5 instead of 13? And he doesn't need the lead to win. I'm not saying he'll win, I'm saying he's a solid pick and he's one of the horses that has shown he can win the Kentucky Derby.

@@question_it_701 So far when he has not got an easy lead he's finished third and next to last. He's got a target on his back and the other jockeys are not going to give Velazquez a free ride.

Birdstone won the Champagne, beat Smarty Jones. The issue with Timberlake is he isn't fast enough.

You said this American crop is weak, and that this Derby, without the Bafferts will be the weakest,. So, did CD, by banning Baffert's horses, weaken their product? It's still THE Derby, no doubt but should the winner have an asterisk in the record books? Most True champions beat the best. and if the Japanese horse wins, it validates their industry as world class.

I think Japan has Done a great job building their product but without the baffert horses I do question how deep the American crop is this year but the combination of both factors make forever young really dangerous this year.
