Big Brown Taking It Easy At Aqueduct For Monmouth Stakes
Big Brown, winner of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Haskell Invitational, walked the shedrow at Aqueduct Wednesday morning, the day after he had his final breeze for Saturday’s $500,000 Monmouth Stakes Presented by IEAH Stables.
On Tuesday morning, Big Brown, worked five furlongs in 1:05.35 over a turf course labeled “good” at the Big A. Race horse trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. was pleased with the move, saying it was “just what we wanted.”
Saturday’s race at Monmouth Park will serve as a prep for Big Brown’s appearance in the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic on October 25 at Santa Anita Park.
Big Brown has not raced on turf since September 3, 2007, when he broke his maiden by more than 11 lengths at Saratoga Race Course.
The 3-year-old colt of Boundary, Big Brown, is slated to jog at Aqueduct on Thursday, and then gallop on Friday. Dutrow has not announced when the colt will be shipped to Monmouth, where the race horse trainer maintains a 35-horse string.
