I Want Revenge (foaled March 26, 2006 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who was one of the favorites to win the May 2, 2009 Kentucky Derby.
He was sired by Grade I winner, Stephen Got Even, a son of 1992 American Horse of the Year and U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, A.P. Indy. His dam was the Argentine mare, Meguial, a daughter of Roy, an American-born Champion sire in Chile and Argentina.
Raced by his owner/breeder, David Lanzman, a former rock musician and businessman, I Want Revenge is trained by Jeff Mullins.
At age two, the colt raced in California. His best stakes result was a runner-up to Pioneerof the Nile in the 2008 Grade I CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park. In 2009, he ran second to Pioneerof the Nile in the Grade II Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita Park. To this point, all of I Want Revenge's races had been on synthetic dirt, but he was then sent to compete on the natural dirt tracks of the East Coast of the United States. At Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York he won the Gotham Stakes by 8½ lengths in stakes record time.
