Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 27, 2024 Journalists Posted July 27, 2024 Last year's Champion 2-year-old colt and 'TDN Rising Star' Fierceness (c, 3, City of Light–Nonna Bella, by Stay Thirsty) got back in the winner's circle with a gutsy win over Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) in Saturday's GII Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga. Perfectly poised in second throughout behind longshot pacesetter Pony Express (Gun Runner), the GI Florida Derby winner left the door wide open off the turn when he drifted out and both Sierra Leone and Batten Down (Tapit) dove inside to come after him. But under a vigorous ride from John Velazquez down the outside, the Repole Stables runner kept his longtime rival at bay to get the win. Lifetime Record: Ch. 2-year-old colt, 7-4-0-1. O/B-Repole Stable; T-Todd Pletcher. What a race by FIERCENESS, the son of @LanesEndFarms stallion City of Light! He pulled away down the stretch to win the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes pres. by @MoheganSun with a perfect ride by @ljlmvel for @RepoleStable! pic.twitter.com/kD83hEW78M — NYRA () (@TheNYRA) July 27, 2024 The post Fierceness Guts Out Jim Dandy Win Over Sierra Leone appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
