Trainer Richard Dutrow said Big Brown would remain at Churchill Downs for a few days before he ships to Pimlico. "I like our chances in the Preakness because we have the best horse, and that always helps," he said. "I don't believe that I'll breeze the horse between races. I might do a little blowout at Pimlico a day or two, or even the day he's in. I'll just see. The weather's got a lot to do with it and he's got a lot to do with it.

We'll just glide along until it's time we figure we have to do something."
