Yesterday, Big Brown became the fourth horse in history to win the Preakness Stakes as an undefeated horse. He won without much effort and with lots of get up and go leftover. His trainer said that he didn't need to even get "on his belly" so that means that he'll have energy to burn for the Belmont Stakes! He won by 5 1/4 lengths without push, without whip, without effort. His jockey, Kent Desormeaux, said, "What a lovely ride I had, an armchair ride with a big button. It was just the easiest win ever. Woo!" And his trainer, Rick Dutrow, said, "He's a freak! He's a champ!"
The other horses who won the Preakness Stakes as undefeated horses were Majestic Prince (1969), Seattle Slew (1977), and Smarty Jones (2004) . I hope that Big Brown wins the Belmont Stakes because we currently have no living Triple Crown winner. Good luck to this big boy!
