dialed in today

[The Indomitable DrugS]

He ran well enough that his performance shows he would have been very tough to beat in the Tampa Derby.

The horse who beat him today is nothing special - but he's run back-to-back mid 90's figures without real easy trips ... and today it was a certainty that he was going to get a dream trip - controlling a slow pace from the outside of a hopeless quitter.

Surprised that exacta paid 6/1. Outside of the two Zito's - everyone else looked hopeless.

Yeah, the exacta was insanely high. First of all, the winner should have paid less than $8, but given that he did, the exacta should have been, at most, 10% higher than his win price, at least mathematically.

Best value in the game....heavy favorite second to a medium priced horse.

excellent read

Still, slow pace aside, this was an Optional Alw race and a solid Derby contender at this stage should have easily handled this field. Best case..Dialed In goes into the Derby with only four races...pass!

So if he goes to the Derby with four races including a win today that means you don't pass?

Probably still would pass but this didn't help.

Is it just me or does this horse look highly suspect going two turns?

He needed to dial 9 first today.
