Description
Fierceness will be the first Kentucky Derby starter in nearly a decade to enter off a 110 Beyer Speed Figure (Materiality entered off the same fig in 2015; he finished sixth). Fierceness earned his fig in a Florida Derby romp, which was his second Grade 1 blowout. He earned a 105 in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last November. The fastest 2-year-old last year, Fierceness is the fastest 3-year-old this year. Derby favorites with the highest last-start figure are 4 for 8 since 2000 (excluding the 2020 Derby in September). In addition to fast times and corresponding figures, Fierceness employs an up-front style that theoretically allows him to control his own destiny. A versatile colt who does not require the lead, he will be forwardly placed. Assuming a clean start, traffic will not likely be an issue.
