There's really no logical reason why Dialed In shouldn't have run in Tampa rather than the Allowance last week at GP.
War Pass running a clunker there 4 years ago should have little relevance to how Dialed In would have handled that track. I realize he probably didn't like spot on the calendar either, as 3 weeks probably isn't sufficient to gear up for the Florida Derby, but....this was a horse with 1 start as a 2-year old. Let him run and get some experience.
I'm just surprised with the number of quality 3-year olds training in Florida that the Tampa Bay Derby doesn't have a stronger field.
