I have met Nick at Gulfstream Park. Love how he just hangs out in the crowd sometimes.
Here is what he said about Dialed In's work today. From Bloodhorse.com.
“He’s just an amazing horse,”said trainer Nick Zito, who caught the final eighth in :11 flat. “I’ve felt strongly about a lot of the horses I’ve trained, but there’s something about this horse that stands out. He’s been a gift from God. After what he did, winning the Holy Bull in only his second lifetime start and off a 2 1/2-month layoff, we didn’t want to do too much with him.
"I hate to use the word ‘bounce,’ but that’s what he did in the allowance race (March 6 at Gulfstream, finished second), where the pace was very slow, it was against older horses, and the winner (Equestrio, who Zito trains) is a very good horse. I wouldn't be surprised to see him win a grade I race some day.”
