Preakness Winner Video

Kent Desmoreaux and Big Brown cross the finish line at the Preakness Stakes.

You can see Big Brown's white "Turbo" button on his left side. I guess the jockey pushed it! The video from the blimp shows his amazing acceleration in the stretch. 2nd place was 5 and 1/4 lengths behind him.

The Belmont is in 3 weeks. We'll see if Big Brown can take the Triple Crown! Last one was Affirmed in 1978, I think!
