Kentucky Derby Winning Jockey to Ride Big Brown at Preakness
Jockey Kent Desmoreaux, who rode Big Brown to an impressive victory at the 134th Kentucky Derby, will once again hop on top of the 3-year-old colt at the upcoming Preakness Stakes on May 17th at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
The American thoroughbred horse racing Hall of Fame jockey has won more races in a single year than any other jockey. But more importantly, Desmoreaux's masterful ride atop Big Brown at the 2008 Kentucky Derby was more than enough to convince Big Brown's trainer and owner that he is the man to take Big Brown to victory at the 2008 Preakness. After all, he did take Real Quiet to victory in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes back in 1998 so he knows a thing or two about riding a potential Triple Crown winner.
Although none of Big Brown's Derby contenders are listed to saddle up at the upcoming Preakness, the field of horses is expected to be stronger, which should make for an interesting race.
You can get all your Preakness Stakes betting here. Big Brown is favored to win again, so it's going to be a great race!!
