Is Big Brown the chosen one?

Incase you haven’t heard by now, Big Brown won the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby. Saturday, Big Brown won by a 4 3/4-length of victory. This is also Big Brown Jockey, Kent Desormeaux third win at the Kentucky Derby.


Now what you don’t know is that it has been 30 years, since a winner of the Kentucky Derby, has been able make the sweep of the next two races. Those races are the Preakness Stakes, in Baltimore, Maryland and the Belmont Stakes, in Elmont, New York. If the Big Brown does win the next two races, he will be known as the champion of The Thoroughbred Racing, which is also known as winning the Triple Crown.


To win the Triple Crown, a horse has to break threw some major tough obstacle. Those obstacles include; three races in a five week span and crowds of over 100,000 plus at all three of the races, these are good reason as to why, their has only been 11 winners of the triple crown since, it started 1919.

Now the question is can Big Brown add to those stats, to make it the 12th time a horse has won the Triple Crown, as well as the first in 30 years. As always time will tell, but his next race will be the Preakness. The race is in two weeks, on the 17th. And in my view by then we will know if big brown is the chosen one or not.
