We’ve got a new profile of racehorse Big Brown, who won the Preakness with ease on May 17th. He’ll go for the Triple Crown on June 7th at the Belmont Stakes in New York.
Big Brown is trying to become the first horse in 30 years to win the Triple Crown. Affirmed was the last horse to do it, in 1978.
And yes, Big Brown really is named for United Parcel Service. (One of his co-owners does business with UPS.)
