LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky Derby champion Big Brown returned to the track at Churchill Downs yesterday, four days after his 43/4-length win in the Run for the Roses.
Trainer Rick Dutrow watched from the rail as Big Brown walked a lap around the track with exercise rider Michele Nevin. Dutrow said the 3-year-old colt has shown no ill effects from the Derby, in which Big Brown became the first horse in nearly 80 years to win from the No. 20 post.
"He's come back good, he's eating everything we give him," Dutrow said. "That's all you're looking for."
Big Brown will spend the next week galloping each morning before shipping to Pimlico for the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown.
