0 Comments | AFP, May, 2008
BALTIMORE, Maryland (AFP) — Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown won the 133rd Preakness Stakes in explosive style here Saturday to set up a date with destiny at the Belmont Stakes.
Big Brown, trained by Rick Dutrow jnr and ridden by Kent Desormeaux, romped to a 5 1/4-length victory in the one million-dollar, 1 3/16-mile race to remain unbeaten in five career starts.
The lightly raced colt emphatically answered any questions about his ability to bounce back so quickly after his Kentucky Derby triumph on May 3 and will head to the Belmont Stakes on June 7 with the chance to become the 12th horse to capture US flat racing's coveted Triple Crown.
"He just keeps on getting better," Dutrow said. "He just keeps showing everyone he's special."
