Big Brown Works Five Furlongs

Big Brown worked five furlongs over the Belmont surface in a swift minute and change shortly after the renovation break. Under regular exercise rider Michele Nevin he was a bit rank early on and galloped out six furlongs in 1:14 and change. According to Rick Dutrow, he came out of the work good and is ready for his run on Saturday. If all is well he will walk the shedrow tomorrow, jog Thursday, gallop Friday and then be patched up in time for Saturday's race. All indications are that he is ready to go.
