SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 2011 For information about TDN, call 732-747-8060. TELL ME ANOTHER ONE KNEE SURGERY FOR DIALED IN On a day that features nine graded stakes across Robert LaPenta=s GI Florida Derby hero Dialed In North America, the lone Grade I will be held at Belmont (Mineshaft) has ben sidelined due to a chip in his right in the form of the $250,000 Mother Goose S. Fox Hill knee. In a statement, trainer Nick Zito said Friday, Farm=s Joyful Victory (Tapit) will ADialed In will be out of training be looking for a bit of redemption for awhile. We noticed there after finishing a troubled fourth was something different with as the 2-1 choice in the the knee. Dr. [Joe] Migliacci GI Kentucky Oaks at Churchill took some X-rays, on May 25, May 6. AThere was some traffic which was after the Preakness, and I don=t think she was able to and there was no problem, but do her running when she there is now. Dr. [Larry] Dialed In Horsephotos wanted,@ said trainer Larry Jones. Bramlage will do the surgery Joyful Victory & Jones AShe=s a big, long-striding filly, next week, and he will be back in training soon. Bob at Oaklawn and she needed to be cruising LaPenta and I, and all my staff, were looking forward to Coady Photography faster than she was able to [in the Travers. Unfortunately, that will not happen. I am the Oaks].@ The grey filly began grateful that he was the favorite in the Kentucky Derby her career with trainer Tony Dutrow, and concluded her and ran in the Preakness for the $5-million bonus. But I time with him by finishing fifth in the GI Breeders= Cup am disappointed, along with Bob, that he did not get a Juvenile Fillies. Owner Rick Porter moved a number of fair chance in those races. Hopefully, as a 4-year-old, his horses back to Larry Jones when the affable he will get back to where he belongs.@ Dialed In was conditioner returned from a brief hiatus, and Joyful purchased by LaPenta for $475,000 at FTSAUG 2009. Victory romped in her first two starts at Oaklawn this An impressive maiden winner in his debut at Churchill in season before coming up short once more under the November, he won the GIII Holy Bull S. and $1 million Twin Spires. AIf you look at her race in the Breeders= Florida Derby at Gulfstream, and was sent off the 5-1 Cup last year when Tony had her, it was the same kind favorite in the May 7 GI Kentucky Derby. Eighth on the of race, and the outcomes were similar,@ Jones pointed first Saturday in May, he followed up with a fourth in out. He added, ARick Porter picked out this spot for her the May 21 GI Preakness S. The 3-year-old has compiled after the Oaks. We gave her a little time after that race a record of 6-3-1-0 and earnings of $939,206. and she=s been steadily picking it up in her works, so I believe we=ve got her where we want her.@ Cont. p5-6 DIVA ACT California-based GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Plum Pretty (Medaglia d=Oro) had been slated for the Mother Goose, but wound up not making the flight. Though trainer Bob Baffert put her name in the entry box for today=s GII Hollywood Oaks, he=ll make a game-day decision on her participation. AI worked her the other Plum Pretty; Zazu (left) & Joyful Victory day, and the next day (right) she was kind of quiet,@ Horsephotos Baffert told Daily Racing Form. AI took the blood and it was normal. I just didn=t feel comfortable putting her on the plane. [Tuesday], she was full of herself. I=ll watch her until Saturday.

The Queen=s Carlton House will face just seven rivals after the likely outsider Best Hello (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}) was scratched yesterday, meaning that this year=s renewal sees the smallest field assembled since Generous (Ire) beat only five rivals in 1991. While Epsom Derby second and third Treasure Beach and Carlton House have drawn outside posts in seven and eight, with so few runners and a likely strong pace, that is unlikely to play a major factor in the outcome. One who has escaped under the radar is Ibrahim Araci=s Native Khan, whose name became embroiled in the High Court battle between his owner and Kieren Fallon, but whose form stands up to the closest inspection. Successful in the G3 Craven S. at Newmarket Apr. 14, the grey was third to Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 2000 Guineas back there 16 days later before running creditably to be fifth despite getting tight for room late on at Epsom. Just 1 1/2 lengths separated him from Carlton House and Treasure Beach in that June 4 Classic, and the likely odds difference between the trio is unjustified. He exits from the five hole which, historically, could be a lucky omen for the superstitious as that was the stall from which a quartet of Derby winners emerged including Galileo (Ire). AHe=s come out of the Derby well, and we=re confident enough that he just about stayed at Epsom, but we=re under no illusions that it=s going to be very tough again and maybe more of a stamina test,@ trainer Ed Dunlop said. AIt=s his last chance of running in a Classic against his own generation and in time we may well drop him in trip, but we=ve every right to be there, and he=s in very good form. At Epsom, he got a little bit trapped down on the rail and IRISH DERBY OWNERS Johnny [Murtagh] felt he could have finished a length and a half VEFA IBRAHIM ARACI - NativeKhan Ed Dunlop & Native Khan closer.@ Dunlop is keen that the (Fr) The 52-year-old Turkish businessman is Racing Post photo ground stays good.
