Big Brown Will Return to Jersey Shore

Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown (Boundary) will make his next start over the turf in the Sept. 13 Monmouth S. at Monmouth Park. “We were looking for a grass race for him and the Monmouth grass surface should be perfect for Big Brown,” said Michael Iavarone, co-president and co-CEO of IEAH Stables. “Monmouth was cordial enough to put up a nice purse for him and the fans really took to Big Brown last time he was there.” Monmouth Park officials agreed to raise the purse of the $200,000 race to $500,000 should Big Brown run in the nine-furlong event. Big Brown most recently captured Monmouth's GI Haskell Invitational Aug. 3.
