Triple Crown Talk: Preakness: Big Payoff Even if Big Brown Wins? Big Brown will undoubtedly be an odds-on favorite. Based on recent Preakness history, there is still money to be made. More Maiden Watch: Yo Joe gets the Cowboy Worthy of comment is the progeny record of Yo Joe's sire, Wertaloona.

Unfortunately for racing, events unfolded after the race that completely overshadowed Big Brown's impressive performance.
