Restoring Hope will pay $3500 for every $100 bet or $350 for every $10 bet should he go on to win the 2018 Belmont Stakes as the biggest long shot in the field.
Another horse trained by Bob Baffert, Restoring Hope was one of the favorites in the Pat Day Mile on Derby day, but finished a disappointing 12th.
He drilled six furlongs in 1:13 in his weekend workout.
“He went really well — probably went a little faster,” Baffert said. “I wanted to do a little more with him.”
“He’s well-bred, but he’s as good as the majority of them in there, I think,” Baffert said. “He ran well in California. I’ve always thought he was a really top horse. I really thought he was a Derby horse.”
Restoring Hope broke his maiden Feb. 2 at Santa Anita Park and last raced at the Wood Memorial (G2).
