The final Preakness horse we're taking a look at is the one who has dominated Triple Crown talk ever since his nearly five-length victory in the Kentucky Derby. Big Brown is a runaway 1-2 favorite with his closest rivals in the handicapping being Gayego (8-1) and Behindatthebar (10-1). As many fans know, Big Brown has a brief resume -- four races -- but it's spotless, four wins.

He shrugged off the disadvantage of the No. 20 starting gate at Churchill Downs, took the long way around the track on the outside and then at the top of the stretch, kicked into another gear. Big Brown ran away from all but the filly, Eight Belles, who gamely chased him to the wire before stumbling well after the finish line and suffering injuries that forced her to be euthanized.

Big Brown, who raced once as a two-year old in September and not again until March, came into prominence at the Florida Derby, which he won by a good five lengths as well. In that one, he led the entire way and was pulling away coming to the wire.

His name comes from the UPS delivery service and he has the No. 7 post position for tomorrow. Some rival trainers have expressed the notion that the only way for Big Brown to be beaten is for him to get bounced around a little by the pack. He is trained by former Marylander Rick Dutrow and is ridden by Kent Desormeaux.

Here he is at the Kentucky Derby (No. 20) and then at the Florida Derby (No. 12).
