Preakness Stakes Results: Resounding Win for Big Brown
Big Brown keeps Triple Crown hopes alive!
“He just set sail,” winning jockey Kent Desmoreaux said, “He just kept kicking his legs up and went riding for the wire. There was not a grain of sand in face.”
And just like that, the 1-5 favorite Big Brown wins the 2008 Preakness Stakes. Taking second was Macho Again and the third place finish went to Icabad Crane.
When asked if he was nervous before today's race, Desmoreaux admitted that he was. "I was nervous as nuts," he said.
The Belmont Stakes is in three weeks and Big Brown will be fresh and ready to run as he aims to make history in becoming the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years.
At Pimlico track on Friday, 6-year-old Student Council ($16.40 to win) took the Grade I Pimlico Special and Sweet Vendetta ($17.40) captured the Grade II Black-Eyed Susan for 3-year-old fillies.
