Big Brown did it again in May 17th's Preakness Stakes. He broke from 7th post in a field of 12. Behindatthebar was scratched.
It took a burst of speed to get the champion out of the middle of all those horses. If he had been a few seconds slower, he might have got sandwiched in, and lost the race. But Kent Desmoraux did well and got him out of a fix. He then edged him over to third place on the outside with clear sailing.
Big Brown kept his position until the final turn, when he made a burst of speed. He was open-jawed, as Desmoraux was holding him in. And then they came, down the homestretch, to win the 133rd Preakness Stakes. No horse could keep up with them.
Dutrow said beforehand that he planned to have the colt held in. After the race, he then stated he believed that they would have enough horse to finish the Belmont Stakes off.
Big Brown will now run in the Belmont Stakes, Saturday, June 7th, at 6:30 pm ET and 5:30 pm CT. Will he become the 12th Triple Crown Winner?
