Go "Big Brown"!!!!!!

Kentucky Derby

Preakness

Taking a break

Good Boy!

As most people have a favorite sports team or sport to live by (Dad, Marsh, Morg, and Spence). I have a favorite sport as well. Horse racing. I am the nerd who watches the HRTV (Horse Racing Television Network). Every year I pick my favorite horse to watch. Well this year my favorite is Big Brown. A horse named after a UPS truck. He is a huge 2 1/2 yr old bay colt who stands almost 17 hands tall, and out runs the whole field. He has only 5 starts in his career and has won every single one. He beat a filly named Eight Belles in the Kentucky Derby. Sadly after the race she broke both front ankles and had to be euthanized on the track. He also won the Preakness by 5 horse lenghts! I love to watch him run, he is feisty and beautiful. After the Derby he was so full of energy that his Jockey was getting ready for a post interview on top of the horse and Big Brown threw him on the ground on tv! After the 2nd leg in the Triple Crown, first being the Derby, Big Brown has a crack on his front left hoof, but that will not stop him from going on to the Belmont Stakes, the final race in the Triple Crown. There has not been a horse that has won all three races to hold the title in 30 years. Hopefully my horse will do it. This track is fast and longer in length 1 mile and a half to be exact. The Belmont will be on June 7th so everyone cross your fingers!
