Giant Moon - 2008 Preakness Stakes Contender

- Trainer: Richard Schosberg
- Jockey: Ramon Dominguez
- Owner: Albert Fried, Jr.
- Breeder: Albert Fried, Jr.
- 2007 Record: 3-0-0 in 3 starts
A fourth-place finish in the Wood Memorial wasn't enough to get Giant Moon in the Kentucky Derby but it did set him up for a run in the Preakness Stakes, with an eye toward the Belmont Stakes in his home area.
The son of Giant's Causeway is the pride and joy of owner-breeder Albert Fried Jr. A victory in the Count Fleet Stakes in January ran his career record to four for four, but he finished poorly in the Gotham Stakes over a sloppy Aqueduct. His Wood performance was more like what he was used to, so after missing the Kentucky Derby, Giant Moon could take a giant step by defeating Derby winner Big Brown in the Preakness.
