David Lanzman and IEAH Stable's I WANT REVENGE (Stephen Got Even), a gallant

winner of Saturday's Wood Memorial (G1) and a top contender for the 135th

running of the Kentucky Derby (G1), arrived at Churchill Downs early Tuesday,

April 7 to continue his preparation for the May 2 "Run for the Roses."

The Jeff Mullins-trained colt entered the grounds around 5:45 a.m. (EDT) following a van ride from New York.  I Want Revenge

is stabled in Barn 24.

I Want Revenge will attempt to become the second consecutive Kentucky Derby

winner for IEAH Stable, which won last year's race with Big Brown. The stable

completed a deal last week to purchase half-interest in the colt from Lanzman.

Mullins is seeking his first Kentucky Derby victory in what will be his fifth

attempt to win the race.

four straight graded stakes in Southern California, Pioneerof the Nile is
