GOLDEN BROWN (6) had a lot thrown at him in the Dan Horn at Monmouth on June 17: first time at two turns, first time on turf and first time against stakes company. This son of Offlee Wild acquitted himself nicely, finishing a strong second to older graded stakes winner Irish Strait. Golden Brown owns the highest last-out Beyer Speed Figure in the group (87) and has tactical speed that should put him in a great spot. At what’s likely to be near double-digit odds, I’ll go with Golden Brown in the Kent; he's currently 8-1 with 8 MTP.
