Following a huge win at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, Big Brown now has his sights set on the Belmont Stakes and a place in the history books as the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years. Can he do it? If you caught today's Preakness Stakes then you have to believe he's got a darn good shot at it. Big Brown made winning the Preakness look so easy.
"He just set sail," winning jockey Kent Desmoreaux said, "He just kept kicking his legs up and went riding for the wire. There was not a grain of sand in face."
Demoreaux said all he had to do was push the button and just like that Big Brown opened it up and took the race from Macho Again, who placed second, and Icabad Crane, who took third.
When asked if Desmoreaux was nervous going into today's race, here's what he had to say: "I was nervous as nuts!"
The Belmont Stakes is only three weeks away but trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. says his horse will get one breeze and he'll be fresh for the third jewel of the Triple Crown.
