Bron and Brow needed most of the long Fair Grounds homestretch to drive past pacesetting Charco, but with an assist from jockey Adam Beschizza, the odds-on favorite scored in the $102,529 colts and geldings division of the Louisiana Futurity.   Bron and Brow ($3.80) looked poised to breeze past Charco in upper stretch, but the leader, off splits of 22.09 and 45.59, stayed on stoutly. Bron and Brow finally made the lead at the furlong pole, drawing away in the final 50 yards to post a 2 3/4-length victory, running six furlongs on a fast track in 1:10.85. Charco finished more than six lengths clear of third-place Big Sully, who had 10 lengths on That One Guitar. Pocket Money was pulled up and vanned off the course.   Mark Casse trains Bron and Brow for owner Gary Barber.
