Big Brown is led to his trailer at Pimlico Race Course by groom Herasmo Gonzalez, before departing for New York. The colt won Saturday's Preakness by 5 1/4 lengths and is 5-0 in five career races, winning by a combined 39 lengths."I am feeling pretty confident about things," trainer Rick Dutrow said. "I can see that he is sharp. Yesterday he was bouncing and today the same thing. He is doing good and that makes everything so much easier."
Of the thirty-one other horses that have left Pimlico with a chance at the Triple Crown, including six since 1997, only 11 have completed the feat by winning the Belmont Stakes.
