dubby30 · For some reason people still seem to be fooled by Nick Zito about his colt's ability, he'll finish better at Pimlico, but 5th or 6th wont be record breaking, this is a Grade III colt, hit times, beyers, rags and speed figures tell you he's not in the top cut of a very mediocre group, not sure how long its going to take for people to recognize that. But I guess because Nick Zito says it some think its fact, Zito plays emotions and he's done it well with this underachiever. · 274 days ago ·

annmatt · He is infused with Bold Ruler 2x at the bottom and 1x at the top of his ped a few back, Secretariat at the top and bottom, of course A.P. Indy, and farther back some really lovely classic blood from Princequillo, Round Table, etc. It's hard to think that he wouldn't have gotten all the speed and stamina he needs for the big races. And look what he does when he's in trouble! It's another romp in the park. He just kicks it in gear and does what he needs to do to get there! I totally agree with Nick...this horse is special, and people just don't know how special, yet. The only thing Dialed In will need to worry about is Mucho Macho Man, the giant of the Risen Star and La. Derby when he famously lost a shoe and still competed gamely with heart. These two horses to me represent the class in this field...they have the intangibles to get the job done. Dialed In may be at more of a disadvantage because of his running style which isn't a great fit for a race like the Derby. I think both Dialed In and MMM will give a good acount of themselves. Win or lose, love these horses and can't wait for the analysis of the race, however it turns out. · 282 days ago ·

While Dialed In was quietly going about winning two very important races, and he sat perched near the top, yet nary a word was made about him, not at all. I don't blame LaPenta for being a little ticked....I was ticked and I don't have any ownership concerns. Also, Repole (who I like a lot, BTW), came out and said that Mo will be the "Favorite" in the Derby because he will bring enough money to the track to make it happen!

medlocke · A really nice effort from Dialed In to come from well off the pace and run down a very game Shakleford to win the Florida Derby. To Honor and Serve was very disappointing again. And even more disappointing than him was Soldat, IMO. Until today, I thought Soldat might be the horse that could really give Uncle Mo problems in the Kentucky Derby? But seeing how badly he faded at 1-1/8, I think it very doubtful that Soldat will stay the 1-1/4 for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. TJMO. · 311 days ago ·

Let's give the horse some credit for making a huge move to get in contention. I know some figure people were expecting Soldat to take a backward step. Guess he did. · 311 days ago ·

On Equibase it says the fianl 1/8 in 13 and 3, but since Dialed In made the lead late, he went fasater than that. It was a very good race. Shackleford ran a great race, and he has a very nice pedigree, but one thing that you have to keep in mind was that the track was speed favoring and so that might have helped Shackleford some. Im not saying that the track was the reason he raced so well though. Dialed In had the track playing against him, but he overcame that. Also the beyer speed figure that Dailed In recieved from the race was 93. Not the best number you want to see, but numbers are not everything in this game. · 310 days ago ·

dubby30 · The final furlong of the Florida Derby was run in a slow 13.75 seconds, that’s mediocre I am not sure if some of you have him as your favs or not but it seems its difficult for some of you to be objective about the horse, its not like he was on the lead expending energy the whole race he sat off of it, way off of it, and he came home slower than most grade 3 horses. Im scratching my head to understand where the positives are. In this race he was able to beat grade 2 winners and just nipping a horse that has not won a race worth more than 50k, this is not called bashing on my part its called fact finding, and its about what you expect to see going forward to the derby. The derby is won by horses who peak and put up career best beyers to that point 108-115 or so is what you’d expect. So dialed in gets a 96 for the Holy Bull regresses to a prelim 93 for the Florida derby and you’re expecting against the most difficult scenerio for him to move forward and progress in five week somehow to ring up a beyer 15 points or so higher, unrealistic at best, now its hard to compare races but seriously speaking the way the timely writer set up at a mile and the way the 9f Fl Derby set up for Dialed in were very similar both Mo and DI got to go thru leisurely conditions and then coming for home 1 horse closed in a bit over 11 second and the other almost 14 seconds. Not a totally fair comparison but you have to find a way to put it into perspective, 1 horse finishes fast and the other finishes more like an allowance horse. The final furlong was pedestrian, and there are very few ways to put a positive spin on that. But if you need to that’s fine, im just trying to find a worthy derby winner not a slow horse that starts slow and finishes just as slow. · 310 days ago ·

footlick · dubby30-I don't pick a Derby horse until the day before the Derby. Too much can happen. I don't particularly like Gulfstream as a track, so I was just wondering how everyone interprets the bias that had been said existed yesterday. He hd to run a decent half mile internally to get into contention and had to go wide. If he did indeed fly against a bias and ran well, that is the fact I was asking. It was a slow race. Sadly the Derby has been won by horses who have run slow races. He is not my Derby pick at the moment and he may never be. As far as comparing his race to Uncle Mo's, you are right . It isn't fair. The size of the field, the track condition and the totally different running styles do not offer a fair comparison. Dialed In has some really good Bris late speed figures. I don't take this race as proof that he will close slowly everytime he runs. I also don't take it that because he has fast Bris late speed ratings that he will outclose everyone. I'll just wait and see how everything develops. I'm not going to just write the horse off because of a Beyer figure and a slower last 8th than he has run in the past. · 310 days ago ·

Dialed In Loses Florida Derby Prep

Dialed In, prepping for the April 3 Florida Derby (G1), fell a 1/2 length short in his first start around two turns at Gulfstream Park on Sunday. The nine furlong optional claiming event had a compact field of five and Reprized Halo set off for the lead through tepid splits of :24.96, :49.40, and 1:...Read More

MaryPetrecz · I know he got dirt kicked in his face and drizzled on.....he got stuck behind horses and overall got a huge education....but I was dissapointed to NOT see any fire in him.....he showed very little desire to win....and I personally think the desire to win is what makes a great race horse. I thought he had that before this race. I still think he's a really nice boy, but just not as great as I hoped. · 339 days ago ·

RaTalk_Girl · Leparoux said that he was very happy with Dialed In today despite the loss and he feels it is a good set up for the Florida Derby. Since Leparoux has never showed emotion about a horse, I am going to take his word on this one. He will still be on my list, at least until the Florida Derby is over. · 339 days ago ·

annmatt · I have no idea what to do here, except I like Dialed In. Ever since watching his running style in his first two races, I was hooked! His little white shadow roll kind of got to me, as well. OK, I know, this isn't very scientific, but I am a total amateur, so, what can I tell ya! I think he got just a tad outgunned being thrown in with the older horses, and it wasn't his fault. It may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for him, though, since the next time out, he isn't likely to take anything for granted. Hopefully, his "fire" will be back, and we can see him emerge as the only real challenge to Uncle Mo. I can't help it...I just love this guy! · 332 days ago ·

dipak1 · Dialed In Loses Florida... I could'nt believe my self that his timing was so poor 1:51.12 +0.050=1:51.62, it was not timing for the horse going to ran kentucky derby, according to the time that he made in Holy Bull, he suppse to make time in 1-1/8 miles, 1:47.50, it was very strange, i think that run in Florida with older horse is just disguise, the actual speed that he has, is going to be seen in Florida Derby and Kentucky Derby. i am convinced that he can do that. · 314 days ago ·

LaPenta hoping Dialed In follows UK's path

Robert LaPenta, owner of Florida Derby contender Dialed In, says his Kentucky Derby hopeful has a lot in common with a certain Bluegrass basketball team. Dialed In was an early season darling, capturing Gulfstream Park’s Holy Bull in his second career start. Then he narrowly lost an allowance race t...Read More
