KY Derby Points: 10. ‘TDN Rising Star’ Dennis’ Moment will be squarely at the center of early-season Derby debates because the narrative for this $400,000 FTSAUG Tiznow bay contains elements that can be used to argue both for and against his chances. Supporters will view his prospects through the prism of “Dennis” being an athletically gifted 19-length maiden winner who dominated the GIII Iroquois S. in hand, then lost all chance when stumbling out of the gate and running last as the 9-10 favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Detractors will argue that Dennis didn’t beat any contenders of consequence in either his Ellis Park maiden romp or his September stakes win at Churchill, and it is a concern that the colt has now lost a rider and/or failed to come out of the gate cleanly in two of his four lifetime starts. Circle his planned soph debut Feb. 29 at Gulfstream as one of the most highly anticipated comebacks of the 2020 Derby campaign.
