Post Position 9 – Stevil

Trainer – Nick Zito
Last Race – 4th, Blue Grass
Checkout what various Preakness Picks Experts have to say about Stevil’s chances to win:
“Though Zito is the only trainer in the race to have won the Preakness, this horse is completely overmatched in my opinion,” stated Preakness Picks Expert Anthony Stabile of VegasInsider.com. “I know he was 12 wide in the Blue Grass but someone had to be fourth. This reeks of his owner just wanting to run in the Preakness. I'm tossing him.”
“Finished fourth in the Blue Grass, has no stakes victories and is slowest of the bunch,” stated Horse Racing Expert Greg Melikov of HorsingAround.info.
