Big Brown May Compete with Curlin in Breeders' Cup Classic

There were rumors that the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes winner Big Brown would be retired after the Belmont. The trainer Rick Dutrow suggested Big Brown would instead move on to conquer the Travers Stakes and the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Big Brown could face a considerable challenge in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, a race that may also include Curlin, the Preakness winner and 2007 horse of the year. He is widely considered the world’s top older horse.

Dutrow said he welcomed the challenge of facing Curlin but did not fear him. Big Brown has one more race to go before he takes the Triple Crown. Click to find out more about
