Saturday’s 150th running of the Kentucky Derby will feature several contenders with the talent to be memorable.
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – MAY 01: Fierceness runs on the track during the morning training for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 01, 2024 in Louisville, Kentucky.
No trainer does a better job getting horses to the Derby than Todd Pletcher, but Pletcher has won the race just twice despite entering more contenders than anyone in history. Despite Fierceness’ superior speed figures, he’s only a whisker ahead of Sierra Leone in the morning line after this Chad Brown-trained colt delivered a career-best performance in winning the April 6 Blue Grass Stakes.
If traffic does not stop Sierra Leone, we could see a thrilling finish as he tries to run down Fierceness.Nothing has eased the tension in the standoff between Bob Baffert, the sport’s most famous trainer, and its most famous venue. Will Baffert be back at the Derby, which he’s won six times, in 2025? If he’s not, will his absence continue to haunt the first leg of the Triple Crown? For now, this issue feels inescapable.Kentucky Derby hopeful Just a Touch gets a bath after a workout at Churchill Downs on Monday.
