Anak Nakal - 2008 Belmont Stakes Contender

• Trainer: Nick Zito
• Jockey: Rafael Bejarano
• Owner: Four Roses Thoroughbreds LLC
• Breeder: Buckram Oak Farm
• 2007 Record: 2-1-0 in 3 starts

Anak Nakal has a pedigree well suited to the classic distance. His sire, $3.5 million earner Victory Gallop, finished second in both the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I) before foiling the Triple Crown bid of Real Quiet in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes (gr. I). In a stretch drive that will be long remembered, Victory Gallop got up in the final stride to catch Real Quiet by inches at the wire. The following season, Victory Gallop was honored as champion older male by virtue of his victories in the Whitney Handicap (gr. I) and Stephen Foster Handicap. From brisnet.com.
