Big Brown is galloping his way toward horse racing's historic and illusive Triple Crown. This strong Thoroughbred has won the first two Triple Crown races in dramatic style. He was the first horse since 1929 to win the Kentucky Derby starting in the 20th gate. In the Preakness Stakes, Big Brown (7th gate) won by 5 1/4 lengths and became the first horse to win both races while remaining undefeated.

The last Triple Crown winner was Affirmed back in 1979 who entered legendary status with 70's winners Secretariat (1973) and Seattle Slew (1977). Many have come close but none have since been successful. Big Brown seems to be ready to make history.

Prior to the Preakness, Big Brown's trainer admitted administering stanozolol on the 15th of every month. Stanozolol is an anabolic steroid banned in 10 states, but not by any where Triple Crown races run.

We'll find out on June 7, 2008 at the Belmont Stakes if Big Brown can get the job done in this 1.5 mile competition. This horse is on a mission and will not be denied. Go Big Brown!
