Dual classic winner Big Brown breezed six furlongs in 1:14.60 on turf rated as good on Tuesday at Aqueduct in preparation for a planned start in the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) on October 25 at the Oak Tree meeting at Santa Anita Park.
The breeze was the second fastest of three timed moves at the distance.
Big Brown won the $500,000 Monmouth Stakes in his most recent start on September 13 at Monmouth Park.
