What a horse Sierra Leon is
A deep closer never ran worst then 3rd!
Congrats
Beaten by a Better Horse
Congrats for what? Losing?
Great ride, great jockey, great horse! Winning combination!❤️❤️
i wish they would rest the grey,the horse would be better for it
It was an exciting race. Congrats Fierceness, and welcome back to winning.
congrats to Mike Repole too. He has had so much bad luck last couple years.
Congratulations To Fierceness!! Sierra Leone Needs A NEW JOCKEY!!❤😊
They tried 5 different Jockeys, same story !They nead to bring Ryan Moore from Ireland same Owner, very difficult horse to ride,i think the only one that can handle this horse by getting out of trouble and staying close to the pace !
@rfrankel2980 You are correct!! He would be PERFECT!! Chad Brown NEEDS to make a change!! FLAVIAN PRAT BLOWN THE BELMONT STAKES, THE HASKELL, THE JIM DANDY, AND NOW?? THE WHITNEY!! A change is needed!! Thank You, rfrankel2980!! Really Appreciate Your Heartfelt Reply!!
Fierceness has improved alot. Before in a race like this without the lead , he would crack like an egg when he moved to challenge the lead and the outsider didn’t hand it to him
Improved? The only time he improves is after he throws in a clunker. His racing pattern is as clear as day, seeing how this horse can't put in two solid performances back to back, I expect him to return in either the travers or penn derby where he'll probably lose by 20 lengths minimum, after that if Todd Pletcher gives this horse a chance I could see him winning the classic given that he should be well rested
@@anthonyr3800 this is the first time he has won when facing resistance turning for home. And then held off fast finishing SL pulling away from 3rd
@@anthonyr3800 My Opinion is He Will Run VERY Well in The Penn Derby...Travers is Another Story...Lot of Legit Horses and at 10F
Fierceness was not on the lead in the BC juvenile and he trashed Muth in that race. He has never needed the lead to win. He just needs clear sailing somewhere near the front. Very comfortable horse pressing/tracking from slightly off the pace. And when he brings his A game he just wins.
@@ivanboesky1520 he had an easy sit in the deathchair right on pace. Did no work to get there. When he moved to challenge, the 20-1 outsider collapsed almost immediately. What I’m saying is if fierceness does work to get to the chair, and on his inside is a decent horse like muth, that does not fold so quick , fierceness breaks like a pu**y.
Good day for old man Johnny V. ❤
Yes, he won, but this ride was completely insane.
Johnny V Had His Head on a Swivel The Entire Stretch...Did Not Count How Many Times He Looked Around But it Was a LOT...Even When He Finally Located SL He Was Still Looking Over His Shoulder...Kind of Strange...He Claims He Went Wide Purposely to Force SL to Go Wide
@@Brick-so1ig Taking the 10 path when your competition is 5 lengths behind you sure as heck isn't going to force him wider.
@@johndoe-yw7eb Thats Why SL Ducked Inside...Johnny V Looking Around Like Affirmed Alydar Easy Goer Spectacular Bid Were in The Race and He Expected Company From Every Direction in Stretch
@@Brick-so1ig He was probably so close to the grandstand, he couldn't hear how far off the other horses were.
Well now Ferceness has to face THORPEDO ANNA! Kenny McPeek says she WILL go to the Travers.
Win - lose - win- the pattern continues. Unbelievable. This puts him over 2 mill . 4th win -3rd graded . I say penn derby then breeders cup . Big win .
I would be very keen on Sierra Leone for the Breeders Cup Classic. The big race in the UK yesterday had a shock result but the winner benefited from the fast pace up front. Sierra Leone will be able to use the likely sprint to the first turn by dropping in and then powering down the outside in the stretch.
What Does The UK Race Have to do With The Breeders Cup Classic in November?
@@Brick-so1ig pace!
Johnny at his best.
The dude on the cart is flying around that track
I love me some Prat . But please please please put Tyler Gaffalione back on the horse . I still believe in my heart SL is the best 3 year old out there and the Best 1 1/4 classic distance horse out there as well . Skip the travers run him in prep at Delmar . And have him ready with the right rider for the breedercups . I’m not getting off this horse . He sitting on a big one
I agree Mike I'm a huge fan he's the beast a fighter I hate n never liked Fierceness he's inconsistent Overated horse Jekyll and Hyde He's a whimp of a horse as soon as he gets touched or bumped he's finished I wouldn't bet one penny on him Why would any one He wins then losses coming in 15th place and 7th place Don't like him never will Trainer said probably won't run in the Travers he needs more rest What a joke a month isn't long enough Why other horses a month is plenty They know He won't win bigger field I'm sick of all these Fierceness bandwagon people make me sick he's not no Best 3yr old he's not even top 10 my opinion Sierra Leone is the best everyone will see
Yes. I completely agree. People in the comments are literally calling for Sierra’s retirement. He’s never finished out of the money. Never. Whereas Fierceness…I could go on and on.
@@frankdeangelo6327 sierra leone is not that great he should've won today how many excuses are yall gonna give him he's a good horse not a great horse.........
Prat gave this horse a perfect ride just beaten by a better horse on the day....
@@gregjenkins4088Sierra Leon is a great horse never came in worse then 3rd
They have tried different Jack's on SL. Same result. Nonsense! Both Pratt and Tyler are great Jack's!
I'm not a fan of Chad Brown but if SL runs in Travers I would not bet against. That's what happens in racing. Just when everyone (bettors) give up on a horse they come back at higher odds to win.
Book it !
Throw him out in the Travers Stakes this weekend! Drifting out going shorter is definitely a concern for me.
Alr, yall. Prepare for a paragraph.
Now, after this race, I’m not sure what to think anymore. But as a longtime Sierra supporter, I must say…what do you mean he ain’t good? Or isn’t the best? Sierra Leone has finished in the money for his entire career without deviation. And only one of those was 3rd place. Whereas Fierceness…any trouble and he’s out.
Sierra was the only horse who could keep up with Fierceness. He was the only one gaining on Dornoch in the Belmont. I agree that he is not the greatest. But why in the world are y’all calling for his retirement? (Different comment said that). I’d sooner call for Fierceness to retire, especially after that KD performance. Though I would never say he needs to retire…just that I would call for his sooner than Sierra’s
Pareciera que Sierra Leone pide a gritos a Irad Ortiz jr.
Love Tyler, but Flavian made zero mistakes this race. Fierceness was a better horse that day.
Pratt Gave Him a GREAT Trip and Gave His Horse Every Chance to Win...But He Lost so SL Fans are Claiming it Was a POOR Ride...Incredible
Agree. At the very end of the race Fierceness was more than repelling SL. That race could have been another 1/8th and SL was not getting Fierceness.
Not sure what to make of it short field with two standouts..false pace setter glad I didn't bet I would have been wrong.the Travers might be interesting..
Isn't it about time for the best horse of this lackluster crop to return...Nysos?
Big Time Illegal Drug Outfit....Cant Take Any of His Horses Seriously
Good luck to the winner feirceness . Second gave too much ground away 7 lengths is too much to make up wether a closer or not .
Horses continually make fools of people.
I hit the TRI and had 3 X on it
Dont like Pratt on SL. Not a good fit. Still yanking on his head to the right even though he was on the rail.
SLeone maybe is not the best 3 YOld , but in normal conditions of the triple crown , wld be a double crowned : With no japanese in the field ( Ky Derby ) and with a 2400 mts Belmont
He should’ve ran in the Preakness, Sierra Leone could’ve won that race.
What? Sierra Leone?? He runs like a train to catc up, but is often short.
He would have been close to a nose if he wasn’t drifted by batten down.
It’s always an excuse with this horse
And the excuses are always true, are they not?
That’s horse racing
I watched it again, didnt think he was bothered by Batten Down unless, unless he couldn't see out of his right blinker. He may have hesitated when Batten Down veered towards him??? I ride, and I never did like seeing blinkers on any horse.
Prat gave Sierra Leone too much to do, just like he did in the Belmont. Its hard to believe, that anyone could be that stupid. They definitely need to dump his ass
He Gave Him a PERFECT Ride are You Joking?
They Could Have Ran Around The Track Again and FN Would Have Held off SL
I think the announcer had money on Sierra Leone. Fierceness dominated, not Sierra Leone. Lol.
No show next time
It was impossible to Win for Mr Sierra in 6 Horse Field as deep closer. Just not enough contesting of pace in front. He , as long as there is 8 horses, easily Win Travers or in PA. Fierceness is obviously not training on to improve from 2 year old. He's OK, but not into it. I think he was trying to get to the Grandstand get a Hot Dog or a hug. Yep
Justify and America Pharaoh were so much better
American Pharaoh still the best horse of the 21st century.
Put sierra leone with adian obrien he mite win a race
Might.
Or irad jr
@@harddriven1344 loser
Sierra leone and mindframe are good horses not great horses........stop all the hype
Umm…Sierra Leone has finished in the money in his every race without deviation. Stop the hype on Fierceness. Though, I agree with you on Mindframe.
Wat a terrible ride from Flavian prat . Useless as always
Prat is probably the best jockey out there your nuts Irad is the useless jockey only wins with Dead favorites can't win with longshots n he's a Dirty Jockey to But Prat is a top notch jockey
@@frankdeangelo6327Irad Ortiz Jr. is the worst, that’s why he has 5 Eclipse Awards and counting 😉🤣
Prat is a bum
4 eclipse award in a row ,best jockey in America Irod Ortiz
@@Syo-tc7kl that's your opinion He gets more favorite mounts rarely rides longshots He doesn't deserve it He's not even my top 5 jockey Prat Gafflione. Dettori. Castelano are all better jockeys
“A perfect ride” 🤡 Announcer must be on Mars. With a perfect ride he wins by at least 5 lengths.
No he didn't won be length that's it what were you watching
A perfect ride is where you keep your horse in the correct position for his talent, steer clear from trouble, and bring it home to WIN, period. Number of winning lengths has no issue here. The ride was perfect.
Until Tyler get bck on SL I want him to lose every race.
Honestly I think there is a better chance of Jose Ortiz or Manny Franco if they switch jocks again . I think Chad probably feels Tyler lost that Derby and is now on the outs.
@@michaelpflug394 He still use Tyler, but to be honest, I thought José was gna get the mount… if he do run in the travers which is gna be a tough race n lose again, then what?
@@najmsalaam707 idk I think Ortiz should be the call but hard to say.
Prat showing what a prat he is giving the 2nd far to much to do
thorpedo anna would have won this race in a hand ride.
Keep dreaming 😂😂
@@Syo-tc7kl brian hernandez said mystik dan couldn't keep up with her. she will gallop in the travers.
@@rick-ug3rd good luck with that
@@Syo-tc7kl she towers over the colts
@@rick-ug3rd I don't think so
Sierra Leone is not as good as ppl be claiming….
I love SL. ❤ He will be back
@@bnegs521 This race should’ve been easy pickings, but I guess not.
@najmsalaam707 no way Fierceness is a really good horse in his own right. These 2 will meet again at the Travers hopefully
@@bnegs521 If fierceness not good then Sierra Leone really not good….not every horse from gun runner wants 11/8-11/4
@najmsalaam707 who Said Fierceness is no good?
