In a thrilling showdown at the Breeders' Cup, Sierra Leone ($15.80) charged into contention, ultimately outdueling Fierceness to claim victory by 1 ½ lengths in the 41st running of the $7 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). Under the expert guidance of trainer Chad Brown and jockey Flavien Prat, Sierra Leone covered the 1 ¼ miles in a swift 2:00.78, marking Brown's first victory in this prestigious event and Prat's second Classic win.

Chad Brown praised the horse’s consistent performances and the support from his ownership group, stating, "He’s been so consistent and is such an honest horse. One of the best I’ve ever had."

🏆 Sierra Leone Triumphs in the Breeders' Cup Classic! 🏆

Maximum Yield Bloodstock celebrates the remarkable victory of Sierra Leone, who captured the $7 million Breeders' Cup Classic with an exhilarating 1 1/2-length lead. This win at Del Mar was hard-fought and well-deserved, especially after a close defeat in the Kentucky Derby earlier this year. Skillfully ridden by Flavien Prat, Sierra Leone clocked an impressive 2:00.78 over 1 1/4 miles, showcasing his resilience and talent after a two-month layoff.

This victory is not just a testament to Sierra Leone’s strength and perseverance but also an exciting moment for trainer Chad Brown, who now stands at 19 career Breeders' Cup wins—just one shy of the leading trainers, Aidan O’Brien and D. Wayne Lukas. Prat, notching his 49th graded stakes win this season, helped Sierra Leone prove he’s a true champion, emerging victorious in one of the sport’s most prestigious races.

Congratulations to the entire team behind Sierra Leone, including Brown and Prat, on this unforgettable win. Here’s to more inspiring victories in the future!
