Churchill Downs — Race 12
#2 Sierra Leone
This year’s Kentucky Derby looks to be full of speed so look for a closer to take the 150th Derby.
And we are going with the $2.3 million purchase who has already shown a solid closing kick.
Sierra Leone enters with some of the top figures in the field and should only improve making his third start off a layoff.
This 3-year-old colt has been working solidly for some of the best connections.
Pace makes the race and Sierra Leone should not only take another step forward but also be making up the most ground down the lane.
