Fierceness has won the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile by 6 1/4 lengths at Santa Anita. As a result, the 2-year-old colt is the winter favorite for next year’s Kentucky Derby. Trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Mike Repole won the Juvenile last year with Forte. Pletcher earned his 15th Cup victory, while John Velazquez notched his 20th, which is second among jockeys on the career list. Fierceness ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:41.90 and paid $35 to win at 16-1 odds. Friday was opening day of the 40th Breeders' Cup, with five races for 2-year-olds.
