Big Brown Set To Race Again

NEW YORK (AP) ― Big Brown is set for his next race: the Haskell Invitational on Aug. 3 at Monmouth Park.

Less than two weeks after Big Brown's Triple Crown attempt ended with an inexplicable last-place finish in the Belmont Stakes, minority owner Paul Pompa Jr. says the Haskell in New Jersey is up next.

The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner came into the Belmont with a 5-0 record. But the 1-4 favorite was eased up by jockey Kent Desormeaux with a quarter-mile left.

Pompa and majority owners IEAH Stables met the past few days and decided Monmouth Park best fits Big Brown's style of racing on or near the lead.
