A win this time out will push his earnings past $1 million lifetime as he now stands at $994,559. Last Saturday night on New Year's Eve, Big Bad John stepped into the track record chart with a 1:51.1 effort in his final start as a three year old. In a live TV trackside interview, owner Edward Telle of Winchester Baye Acres based in Ocala, FL stated his prized possession would be starting his stallion career in Ohio after achieving millionaire status.

Florida's Open class standouts in the 2011-12 campaign, Rick's Sign and Dragon's Blood, will again start inside of Big Bad John in the January 7 contest.
