not the longest, but Pleasant Colony went off at 27-1 in debut.

Bold Forbes, as STS says, was giant odds and won big:

A firster out of Barrera's barn wins a 5f race by 17 lengths at 35-1...how in the world could they hide that guy enough to pull that off??

Was trained by someone else (Cruz) in PR.

Wins at 5,6,8,9,10 and 12 furlongs. I'd say that is impressive.

I believe I remember reading that his two 2yo races in this country recieved tremendously fast Ragozin figures.

I believe they had one of them faster than anything Big Red ran in his 2-year-old Horse of the Year season in '72.

Eight races as a 2YO?
Five races as a 3yo before the Derby?
It almost seems like Barrera wasn't concerned about having a "fresh" horse.
What a fool.
