Summary
The victory was a call back to five years ago, when Brown and Early Voting’s owner, Seth Klarman, faced a choice: They could race their then 3-year-old thoroughbred, Cloud Computing, at the 2017 Kentucky Derby or they could wait until they felt the horse was ready to compete later that month at the Preakness Stakes. Brown and Klarman elected to skip the Derby, and Cloud Computing would go on to win the Preakness.The two repeated the same game plan on Saturday, reasoning that Early Voting would be more prepared against the nine-horse field at the Preakness rather than the 20-horse field at the Kentucky Derby."They deserve all the credit," jockey José Ortiz said of Brown and Klarman.
