THAS was too close to that pace. I'll play him back in the Derby

I doubt he's going to the Derby - I'd be really surprised if he does as he was beaten many lengths and did not improve at all. He's always going to be up close - he can't rate well from off the pace. Just like in the FOY, his "move" was pretty weak - he never looked like he ever had the measure of Shackelford.

I have a feeling Dialed In's race today would look great on a Fat Chart.
