There are some exciting contenders to watch out for. Forever Young, trained by Yoshito Yahagi, has caught the attention of many spectators. This Japanese horse has an impressive record of five consecutive wins leading up to the Derby, making it a strong contender to break new ground for Japan in this prestigious race.
Another fan favorite is Fierceness, starting from post No. 17. With an experienced team of trainers and jockey, including three-time Derby winner John Velazquez, Fierceness is a top pick to take the lead.
