Racing fans wanted to see more older horses comeback for a 4-year racing campaign and the Commish delivered!!!! Fierceness vs Locked is a heavyweight title fight! Who is going to win??? I think Fierceness is a “Lock” to win!” Last season, Fierceness ended his campaign with a runner-up finish to eventual Eclipse winning 3-Year-Old Colt Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic. As for Locked, who is co-owned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Walmac Farm, that colt is coming off a score in the GI Santa Anita Handicap Mar. 1. Both colts were named 'TDN Rising Stars' at two. Fierceness will be making his 4 year old debut at @ChurchillDowns in the Alysheba Stakes.
