11/1 on Dialed In and 16/1 on Jaycito ... and even Giacomo had shown more early speed than these two.
They'd be about the slowest Derby winners since Strike The Gold 20 years ago.
If you love either Dialed In or Jaycito - wouldn't it have made more sense to backwheel them in the exacta with seven or eight of the better win options?
Even when the pace is brutally fast - it's typically a speed horse - or a one-time speed horse - who just so happens to rate kindly who wins.
