Dialed In is early Kentucky Derby favorite
May 4, 2011LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Dialed In has been made the early 4-1 favorite for the Kentucky Derby, with Uncle Mo as the second choice in the full field of 20 horses.
Trained by two-time Derby winner Nick Zito, Dialed In drew the No. 8 post on Wednesday. Ten horses have won from that position, the last being 50-1 shocker Mine That Bird two years ago. Ill-fated Barbaro also broke from the No. 8 post to win in 2006.
Uncle Mo drew the No. 18 post. He's being treated for a gastrointestinal infection. Owner Mike Repole has said if the colt isn't sufficiently recovered, then he won't run in the 1 1/4-mile Derby.
Nehro is the third choice at 6-1.
