Big Brown proved once again that he is for real and dominated this weak field being among the top three for the entire race. This was a terrible field and because of that the payouts suffered for Big Brown as he actually paid more to place then he did not win. Handicappers were really struggling with finding the second best horse and that proved evident by the fact that Gayego and Yankee Bravo were predicted to hit the board but were nowhere near finishing in 10th and 11th place.

It is now onto the Belmont Stakes for Big Brown and if you thought his odds were low in the Preakness, wait until post time @ the Belmont. There has been talking of a better field for the race in New York with a Japanese horse possible entering the race, but Big Brown should enter at around a 1/7 favorite.
