Preakness: Zito builds his case for Dialed In

Dialed In stands to earn $6.1 million – $600,000 for the winner’s share of the race, plus a $5.5 million bonus – and $500,000 of that bonus money is earmarked for the trainer.

After running third in his career debut at Arlington last September, Animal Kingdom has won three of four subsequent starts, with the only loss coming by a head in a March 3 turf allowance at Gulfstream.

A hind-end ailment has sidelined Powhatan County for a while, said George Weaver, who trains him for Richlyn Farms.
