Big Brown Is A Late Arrival At Preakness

By the time Big Brown arrived at Pimlico Race Course and was led into famed Stall 40, he was already installed as the 1-2 favorite for Saturday's Preakness.

Big Brown had a police escort for the 30-minute ride from the airport to Pimlico. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. skipped the draw in Baltimore and took the rain delayed flight with Big Brown.

The trainer and his colt were greeted by a horde of media and a few fans.

Big Brown is 4-0 in his career. Trainer Rick Dutrow plans to gallop his horse Thursday and Friday, and will run him on a "little blowout" on Saturday.

The horse drew the No. 7 post for the race.

Gayego was made the 8-1 second choice and will break from the No. 12 post.

Behindatthebar was the 10-1 third choice and drew the No. 5 post.
