Mr. BrownHe's big, he's brown and he's one race away from horse racing immortality, the Triple Crown. After defeating 19 other 3 year olds and a daunting break from post 20 in the KY Derby just two weeks ago Big Brown absolutley toyed with an overmatched Preakness field, displaying a push-button burst of speed that took our breath away. Our Belmont Stakes tickets arrived today (thanks Marc) and well...here we go again. For the 6th time in 12 years there's a chance for a Triple Crown and whether it's tears in our beer or champagne corks, we'll be there, as always.
