Dornoch profile: 2024 Kentucky Derby odds, post position, history and more to know about the Derby contender
A full brother to last year's Kentucky Derby winner, Mage, Dornoch looked poised to match his sibling's success after winning the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes in December and emerging as one of the top contenders for the 2024 Kentucky Derby. But this year has been a different story, and he enters the Run for the Roses off a listless fourth-place finish in the Blue Grass Stakes. His brother won last year's roses as a 15-1 longshot, and the connections of Dornoch wouldn't mind a little of that longshot magic this year.
