Big Brown - 2008 Preakness Stakes Contender

• Trainer: Richard Dutrow, Jr.
• Jockey: Kent Desormeaux
• Owner: IEAH Stables and Paul Pompa Jr., et al
• Breeder: Monticule
• 2007 Record: 1-0-0 in 1 start

Domination is a strong word, but when applied to the way Big Brown handled the field in the 134th Kentucky Derby, it's a perfect fit.

His swooping move on the turn for home and his separation from the field as he rumbled down the stretch was nothing short of domination.

The word "awesome" is thrown around willy-nilly these days, but that one fits, also. Just how well it fits is evidenced by the lack of Kentucky Derby horses to return to challenge the son of Boundary in the Preakness Stakes.

Is he the next Triple Crown winner, as many have predicted? He has to get past all the new shooters in the Preakness to reach that threshold that has defeated so many Triple Crown hopefuls in the 30 years since Affirmed wore the crown in 1978. From preakness.com.
