Dialed In (foaled February 6, 2008) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. He won the 2011 Florida Derby and Holy Bull Stakes, before finishing 8th in the Kentucky Derby. He is also the sire of multiple graded stakes winner Gunnevera.
Dialed In was sired by Mineshaft, a son of A.P. Indy. His dam, Miss Doolittle, was graded stakes placed, and also produced stakes-winning filly Broadway Gold (by Seeking The Gold) and stakes-placed colt Mambo Master (by Kingmambo).[3]
Owner Robert LaPenta bought Dialed In for $475,000 at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga select yearling sale in 2009.[2] Dialed In was trained by Nick Zito during his racing career.
