Dutrow confident entering Preakness
NTRA photo
Trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. feels like a winner when he looks over a list of possible starters Big Brown may face in the $1-million Preakness Stakes (G1) on May 17 at Pimlico Race Course.
“I’m feeling that we have the best horse in the race—the fastest horse,” Dutrow said during a teleconference on Thursday. “I’m glad to see the competition that’s in there. It’s not like it’s coming up a stellar-packed field. Anyone can see that—me especially.”
Big Brown’s 4 3/4-length win in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) on May 3 at Churchill Downs left Dutrow feeling as confident as ever entering the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown.
