Unless Borel gets named to ride - this horse will most likely go off as the longest shot on the board in the Derby ... which will probably be less than 100/1 if very recent history is any indication.

At least GBBob can take comfort in knowing that - while his good starter alw Philly Park 3yo is as good as just about everything that ran in that 800K giveaway sweepstakes - he probably wouldn't have won because he's a tactical speed horse and the pace was fast early - and crawl late.

Well under 100-1. Backtalk was 20-1 last year. I think the days of 50-1 and up might be gone for a little while at least.
