“Big Brown captured the hearts of sports fans with his stellar performance at the Derby and Preakness earlier this year,” said Tony Allevato, TVG senior vice president and executive producer. “All eyes will be on Big Brown as he competes and tries to regain the form that made him one of the most recognized names in horseracing.”
