Big Brown ran with Triple Crown dreams in the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby with an impressive 4 ¾-length win over Eight Belles and Denis of Cork in a time of 1:59.40.
A crowd of 94,476 was shocked to see Big Brown lose the Belmont as most thought they would see Triple Crown history being made. Instead, the big winner of the 140th Belmont Stakes was 38-1 longshot Da' Tara, who led start to finish and won by 5 1/4 lengths.
