With a tremendous late run, Dialed In weaved his way through traffic to score a convincing victory in the $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III).
Favored Mucho Macho Man, Black N Beauty, and Ribo Bobo raced away to set the early pace, running the opening quarter mile in :23.96 as they dueled for the lead. In the meantime, Dialed In, under Julien Leparoux, dropped back to last. At one point he was as many as fifteen lengths off the pace. But he gradually edged closer, sneaking through along the rail to reach contention as the field turned for home. He then moved to the outside and turned on the afterburners, blasting past longshot Sweet Ducky to win going away.
Sweet Ducky, who looked like a winner in the stretch, wound up second at 14-1. Gourmet Dinner rallied to finish third, while Mucho Macho Man, who held the narrowest of leads as the field entered the homestretch, ended up fourth.
The final time was 1:35.19. It was a truly remarkable performance. Dialed In looks like a colt with a future!
