One horse will etch its name in history on Saturday at the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby.
Fierceness is the favored horse to capture the first leg of the Triple Crown and go after horse racing immortality over the next six weeks.
Only a handful of horses in the field can keep pace with Fierceness when he is at his best, but we are not guaranteed to witness the best race from the favored horse.
A year ago, Mage won at 15-1 odds and Rich Strike captured the 2022 event at 30-1.
Another long shot winner could emerge from the field on Saturday, but the pendulum could also swing back to the top horses in the event since they are so strong.
