    Fierceness was named the 5-2 morning line favorite for the upcoming 150th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs and will look to make history in next Saturday's milestone race as the first entrant to win in 45 attempts from the No. 17 post position. The Todd Pletcher-trained colt enters the 1 1/4-mile opening leg of the Triple Crown races on May 4 off a dominating 13 1/2-length win in last month's Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park and has a third-place finish as a 3-year-old. Also, Brad Cox-trained filly Tarifa is the 7-2 morning line favorite for Friday's Kentucky Oaks after drawing the No. 8 post.

      Some teams see an immediate impact from a draft class. Others have to wait on a return. The Houston Texans went from worst to first in their division last season after selecting quarterback C.J. Stroud and edge Will Anderson Jr. back to back with the second and third overall picks.
