Horse racing fans are gearing up for 2024 Kentucky Derby horses strutting their stuff at Churchill Downs on Saturday May 4, with the first leg of the Triple Crown hitting a milestone this year with its 150th renewal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this stage it\u2019s a tight betting heat with the Chad Brown-trained Sierra Leone<\/strong> and the Todd Pletcher runner Fierceness<\/strong> topping the market, plus this year\u2019s race will have the added spice of top Japanese runner Forever Young<\/strong><\/a> trying to become the first horse from the Far East to win the Run For The Roses.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So, as the excitement builds, we thought we\u2019d take a look at which 2024 Kentucky Derby horses the betting public are latching onto the most when it comes to search volume stats and typing their names into Google.<\/p>\n

2024 Kentucky Derby Horses, Points, Trainers, Betting & Last Race\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

See below the top 20 Kentucky Derby runners in terms of points gained ahead of their journey to the big Churchill Downs race in early May.<\/p>\n

The Chad Brown barn are still looking for their first Run For The Roses<\/em> win but the best Kentucky Derby racebooks<\/a> seem to think that they\u2019ve got a leading chance in 2024 with his Sierra Leone one of those topping the betting.<\/p>\n

This well-bred Gun Runner colt has amassed the most Kentucky Derby points on his route to Churchill Downs (155) and was last seen winning impressively in the Grade I Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland (watch below).<\/p>\n

If the betting is to be believed Sierra Leone will face his biggest threat from the Todd Pletcher runner Fierceness, who won the Florida Derby with ease last time out.<\/p>\n

That Gulfstream Park race has also been an excellent Kentucky Derby prep race<\/a> for finding the winner in recent years with six winners since 2006 having contested the Florida Derby.<\/p>\n

Which 2024 Kentucky Derby Horses Are The Most Searched Online?<\/b><\/h2>\n

With the Kentucky Derby limited to horses aged just 3 years-old, this means these runners are just finding their feet in terms of building up a following and with that a \u2018search\u2019 presence too.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we thought we\u2019d delve deeper into which of the main 2024 Kentucky Derby horses<\/a> are starting to gather pace in the busy world of the search engines and you might be a bit shocked that the first two in the betting – Sierra Leone and Fierceness – DON’T come out top.<\/p>\n

Dornoch The Most Searched For 2024 Kentucky Derby Horse<\/b> (at the moment)<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

Horse racing and betting go hand-in-hand – right? And with that you\u2019d probably have bet your bottom dollar on either Sierra Leone or Fierceness coming out top of the \u2018Online Search Stakes\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"DornochHowever, we were also surprised to see neither of these two 2024 Kentucky Derby fancies propping up the list – instead it\u2019s the Danny Gargan-trained DORNOCH <\/b>that US people have been searching the most.<\/p>\n

He was last seen running fourth to Sierra Leone in the Grade I Toyota Blue Grass Stakes on April 6 – beaten 6\u00bd lengths.<\/p>\n

Maybe Dornoch’s higher search volume is because this Good Magic colt stayed on well that day to suggest he\u2019ll be a finisher in the Kentucky Derby on May 4 and can improve on that effort.<\/p>\n

He was also an impressive winner of the Fountain Of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream back in March, which also probably has something to do with his higher search interest.<\/p>\n

Oh, and he’s has also beaten Sierra Leone in his career (the only horse to do so), when battling to a nose win over the Chad Brown colt in the Remsen Stakes back in December.<\/p>\n

Dornoch will be hoping to grab some of the increased 2024 Kentucky Derby purse,<\/a> which now stands at $5m and $3.1m to the winner.<\/p>\n
