Stevil - 2008 Preakness Stakes Contender

• Trainer: Nick Zito
• Jockey: John Velazquez
• Owner: Robert V. LaPenta
• Breeder: John E. Peihl, II
• 2007 Record: 1-0-0 in 2 starts

With War Pass going down with an injury and Cool Coal Man finishing a disappointing 15th in the Kentucky Derby, the Robert LaPenta Jr. mantle now falls to Stevil for a run in the Preakness Stakes.

He was fourth in Keeneland's Toyota Blue Grass Stakes and didn't earn enough graded money to get into the Kentucky Derby, so the Preakness was a natural second target.

Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito is in search of his second Preakness victory, having won the 1996 running with Louis Quatorze. From preakness.com.
