BIG BROWN BROOKSKI became her Kentucky Derby/Preakness Stakes champion’s 28th individual winner – his 16th in 2013 already – when she won over 1400m at Woodbine in Canada on Sunday.

Bred in Kentucky and foaled in Ontario, Big Brown Brookski was finished fifth over 1200 on debut at Keeneland on April 24 before stepping up to the 1400 today.

She obviously drew great benefit from the her first start powering past her rivals midstretch to post a comfortable 1-lens win.

 

Big Brown has now sired two first crop Stakes winner’s, both on the turf and his third first crop stakes winner mightn’t be far away with Apollo Sonic entered in the Gr.1 Japan Derby next weekend or Maracuya in the $500,000 BLACK-EYED SUSAN S Gr.2, 3yo, f, 1 1/8m
