Highly Motivated Kentucky Derby Payout Odds

It's going to take some high motivation to overcome the dreaded number 17 post position start for Highly Motivated.  He pays out 10-1 odds with a Kentucky Derby win but that starting spot has yielded a grand total of ZERO wins in the long history of this race.  Highly Motivated finished 2nd in the Blue Grass Stakes and 3rd in the prior graded race, the Gotham.  He has two wins in non-graded races.
