Big Brown heads for the winner's circle

Winning trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. said, "It is an unbelievable feeling. What you saw today is what made me so confident. It was just the way we envisioned things happening. We took the 20 post because we figured let's give our horse a chance. In case he doesn't break sharp, with the outside post we were guaranteed a good trip. He puts himself wherever he needs to be in the race."
