Odds: When oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com released their odds on Monday, Dialed In was a +350 money line favorite. Those odds dropped on Wednesday after the post positions were drawn and Dialed In was listed at +300. Now, roughly 24 hours before post time, Dialed In is +250 on the money line thanks in large part to Uncle Mo being scratched on Friday.
Race History: Take one look at Dialed In’s race history and you’ll understand why he’s the favorite this weekend. He won a MSW last November and then took first place in his first race of the year at the Holly Bull (Grade 3) on January 30. On March 6, he took second an Allowance and in his last outing, he won the Florida Derby (Grade 1) on April 3.
Post Position: Not only is Dialed In the favorite, but he also drew a pretty good post position on Wednesday. Dialed In will be coming out of the No. 8 post, which has produced 10 Kentucky Derby winners all-time. Only the No. 4 (11), rail (12) and No. 5 (12) positions have fostered more victories. (The No. 10 post has also produced 10 victories as well.)
Outlook: Really, what’s not to like? His race history is nearly immaculate, he drew a nice post position and his path to victory got a whole lot easier when Uncle Mo was scratched on Friday. The only problem is that he’s only had four career starts, which isn’t much. Still, it’s easy to see why oddsmakers love this horse and he should (should being the operative word) place in the money.
