Yes - it was very impressive how Dialed In was able to outfinish 3rd place finisher Valerius ... even though Valerius was head and head with him the whole way for about the first 7fs.

Isnt the issue with Dialed In as is many of the pretenders can Zito get him to go forward in the next 60 days. If they stay sound, get the right cocktails, and train forward at least 7 would have a decent shot. Why Machen at 70/1 instead of Comma at 80/1?

I wouldn't touch Comma in a future book right now because he might be taken off of the Derby Trail after his last two placings.

I don't think Comma will stay, but he kept going after dueling ridiculous fractions last week when the other pace horses were looking for a lake to jump into.

He was a length behind Valerius after 6f then outfinished him by 4 solid lengths. Given the pace scenario in that race he had ZERO chance to beat his older stablemate. This race WAS solid and he proved it today.
