Florida Derby (G1) winner DIALED IN (Mineshaft) was installed as the 4-1 morning line favorite for the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby (G1) after drawing post 8 in Wednesday's draw. The Nick Zito charge has suffered just one loss in his four-race career, with that coming to older stablemate Equestrio (Elusive Quality) in an allowance/optional claimer at Gulfstream Park on March 6. The dark bay colt remained at the venue to next start in the Florida Derby, where he just got up over a game SHACKELFORD (Forestry) by a neck on the wire. Julien Leparoux, aboard for all of Dialed In's races thus far, retains the mount for the Derby.

"I was happy with it. I think, actually, most the major players got good post positions, too. I think the draw went OK," Hall of Famer Zito said. "Obviously, Archarcharch, they're going to talk about the '1,' but we were certainly happy with our draw.

Juvenile champion UNCLE MO (Indian Charlie) was the early favorite for the Run for the Roses and closed all three pools of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager as the favorite, but is listed as the 9-2 second choice on the morning line. Like Dialed In, he'll enter the race owning just a single loss in this career, with that coming as a third last out in the Wood Memorial S. (G1) behind Toby's Corner (Bellamy Road) and Arthur's Tale (Bernardini). John Velazquez will be aboard the Todd Pletcher trainee when he breaks from gate 18.

"We're happy with both the draws," said Pletcher, also referring to STAY THIRSTY (Bernardini) being assigned post 4. "We were afraid of the No. 1. We didn't want to be down there. But Uncle Mo will be OK from the 18. He wants to get a good stalking position and he can do that from there.

"And Stay Thirsty -- we were sort of rooting for the No. 4. We had great luck there last year (Pletcher's first Kentucky Derby winner, Super Saver, broke from Post 4) and we don't mind going back there again."

NEHRO's (Mineshaft) close seconds in the Arkansas Derby (G1) and Louisiana Derby (G2) earned him 6-1 third favoritism on the Derby morning-line. The Steve Asmussen pupil will break from post 19 under Corey Nakatani owning just one career win -- a 4 1/2-length maiden triumph on February 21 at Oaklawn Park.

Oddsmaker Mike Battaglia admitted during the telecast of the draw that Archarcharch was initially lower, but he raised his odds after the Jinks Fires trainee was assigned post 1.

"I have always wanted to be No. 1 but not in the Kentucky Derby starting gate," Fires quipped after the draw. "I'll just tell (jockey) Jon (Court) to get good position, save ground and figure out a way to get out. I started to get concerned (when the one hole was left and Archarcharch had not been drawn).

"It is still the shortest way around and at least I am not out next to the track kitchen."

Midnight Interlude, who drew post 15, will seek to become the first Derby winner since Apollo in 1882 who didn't race as a juvenile. The bay is conditioned by Bob Baffert.
