Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown’s schedule for the rest of the season remained uncertain following his victory in the Haskell Invitational August 3 at Momnouth Park.
It appears doubtful that Big Brown will enter the Travers Stakes on August 23 at Saratoga, although he still is pointed toward the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on October 25 at Santa Anita Park.
“We’ll take a closer look at him later this afternoon and then worry about down the line,” race horse trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. said Monday. “Once we see how he came out of (the Haskell), we’ll start to look ahead.”
