Before the Preakness, venerable Kentucky stud farm Three Chimneys bought Big Brown's breeding rights for upwards of $50 million, putting at least $12.5 million in Pompa's pocket. "That was a good move by me, eh?" he says. Pompa, 49, also gave the horse his name--Big Brown is a salute to UPS, the package-delivery outfit--after...
