Kentucky Bear - 2008 Preakness Stakes Contender

• Trainer: Reade Baker
• Jockey: Jamie Theriot
• Owner: Bear Stables
• Breeder: Alexander Valley Breeders of Kentucky
• 2007 Record: Unraced

Finishing third in Keeneland's Toyota Blue Grass Stakes didn't garner enough graded-stakes money to put Kentucky Bear into the Kentucky Derby, but that race and two bullet workouts at Keeneland since then have put him in line to tackle Big Brown in the Preakness Stakes.

The son of Mr. Greeley, unraced at 2, is trained by Canada-based Reade Baker, who has been high on the horse most of this year. The chestnut colt is owned by Bear Stables, the nom de course of Donny (Bear) Dion, a former lumberjack who lives in Bonnyville, Alberta, Canada, and operates the world's largest mulch company.
