Here are our expert picks for the Triple Crown in 2024:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#ccccd3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#e6e6ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Fierceness\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16429\" title=\"Fierceness silks KD\" src=\"https:\/\/kentuckyderbybettingsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Fierceness_silks_KD.png\" alt=\"Fierceness silks KD\" width=\"100\" height=\"94\" \/>Fierceness<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Made own running unchallenged in the Florida Derby, so no stamina concerns for either the Kentucky Derby or Preakness. Outclassed everything at Gulfstream Park and won by a wide margin. Saw race out strongly, just as he did in the fall when landing the Breeders&#8217; Cup Juvenile. An exciting prospect for all Triple Crown races and scratching of Encino moves him into a luckier draw.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sierra_Leone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16428\" title=\"Sierra Leone silks\" src=\"https:\/\/kentuckyderbybettingsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sierra_Leone_silks.png\" alt=\"Sierra Leone silks\" width=\"100\" height=\"94\" \/>Sierra Leone<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Strong at the finish in winning both the Risen Star and Blue Grass Stakes en route to Kentucky Derby. Sire unraced beyond 1m 2f and only won over that distance at fourth attempt. It isn&#8217;t form, but rather the post position draw a concern for Churchill Downs. Belmont bid hinges on how he does there and if backing it up in Preakness Stakes.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Catching_Freedom\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16430\" title=\"Catching Freedom silks\" src=\"https:\/\/kentuckyderbybettingsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Catching_Freedom_silks.png\" alt=\"Catching Freedom silks\" width=\"100\" height=\"94\" \/>Catching Freedom<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Came right around the field for Louisiana Derby victory in final Kentucky Derby prep race. Marked up for that. No stamina worries on that basis. Although runner-up Honor Marie has stouter pedigree for the Belmont, bold bid in Triple Crown races looks assured. Same connections had Angel Of Empire make the show at Churchill Downs and then finish fourth at Belmont Park last year.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Just_A_Touch\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16436\" title=\"Just A Touch silks\" src=\"https:\/\/kentuckyderbybettingsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Just_A_Touch_silks.png\" alt=\"Just A Touch silks\" width=\"100\" height=\"94\" \/>Just A Touch<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maybe in front too soon when headed and placing behind Sierra Leone in Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. Represents international owners and has strong pedigree for Triple Crown tests. Sired by the last horse to complete this feat, Justify. Lightly-raced and open to further progress. May still have further improvement, but needs to find it in Kentucky Derby.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Where_Can_I_Place_Triple_Crown_Bets\"><strong>Where Can I Place Triple Crown Bets?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can make online Triple Crown picks at our recommended offshore betting sites.
