Backtalk was one of the last entrants that made it to the Kentucky Derby draw, and many wondered up to the last few hours whether it would be him or Interactif taking the final Derby slot.
If you're looking for a horse that has a pedigree of champions, look no further than this three year old. Backtalk was sired from 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Smarty Jones, who arguably was the most recent horse with the best chance at winning the Triple Crown. Aside from that, Affirmed, the most recent Triple Crown winner is the father of his sire, Apasionata Sonata.
A third place finish in the Illinois Derby just wasn't what the doctor ordered for Backtalk, especially considering that that race featured a number of Derby entrants. An eighth place finish in the Breeders' Cup Futurity won't make matters any better for potential bettors either.
Trainer Tom Amoss has been a leading trainer at Churchill Downs for years, but he has never trained a horse good enough to compete at this level before. Jockey Miguel Mena rode in his first ever Kentucky Derby, though he does have experience riding champion horses, most notably Silverbulletday. His Run for the Roses was one to forget, as Backtalk finished dead last amongst the 20 horses, several full seconds off of the pace.
