Can Big Brown win the 2008 Belmont Stakes next to capture the Triple Crown title?
Monday, May 19th, 2008
Big Brown dominated again, making the colt only a win away to capture the Triple Crown title.
Big Brown won the 2008 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico after winning the Kentucky Derby, making him merely a win away from the elusive Triple Crown.
With Big Brown already winning two of the three races for the Triple Crown, the focus now shifts for the 2008 Belmont Stakes. These guys around Big Brown were so confident that they were already talking about the third leg of the Triple Crown trail even BEFORE the second leg was underway.
Of course, Big Brown winning the Belmont Stakes to capture the 2008 Triple Crown series title will indeed make horse racing history since it’s been a while since this sport had a Triple Crown winner.
But the fact of the matter is, it’s still a little too early to talk about that, right now, we should just probably admire the colt and how he dominated the field again for the second straight race.
Big Brown did not disappoint horse racing fans after winning the 133rd Preakness Stakes last weekend. The colt, a 3-year-old with a perfect record, now heads for the 2008 Belmont Stakes in three weeks as only the fourth horse in this decade to try for the Triple Crown title. Big Brown won by 5 lengths, Macho Again was second and Icabad Crane was third.
‘’I looked between my legs, under my arms, and they were eight (lengths) behind me,’’ Big Brown’s jockey, Kent Desormeaux, said. Big Brown slipped a bit while breaking from the middle of an undistinguished pack and jockey Kent Desormeaux took him off the pace in front of 112,222 fans.
‘’He’s so strong, he powered out with his…”

The second and shortest leg of the 2008 Triple Crown trail, this year’s Preakness Stakes could be the start of a historic feat for the Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown.
