Forever Young of Japan Wins Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar

Forever Young (JPN) wins the 42nd running of the $7 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) for 3-year-olds and up by a half-length over Sierra Leone.

Susumu Fujita’s Forever Young (JPN) ($9), third in last year’s race behind Sierra Leone and Fierceness, turned the tables Saturday afternoon at Del Mar to win the 42nd running of the $7 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) for 3-year-olds and up by a half-length over Sierra Leone.

Trained by Yosh*to Yahagi and ridden by Ryusei Sakai, Forever Young covered the mile and a quarter over a fast track in 2:00.19. The victory is the third for Yahagi in the World Championships and first in the Classic. It is Sakai’s first Breeders’ Cup win.

More forwardly placed than last year, Forever Young tracked in third behind Contrary Thinking and Fierceness through opening fractions of :23.04, :45.97 and 1:10.48.

Approaching the far turn, Sakai gave Forever Young his cue and he swept to the front with Mindframe and Journalism also on the move and Fierceness saving ground on the inside. Forever Young maintained a safe margin over Fierceness and then was able to hold the late charge from Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone finished a length in front of Fierceness who was 2 ¼ lengths in front of Journalism with Mindframe, Baeza, Nevada Beach, Antiquarian and Contrary Thinking following in order.

Forever Young is a 4-year-old son of Real Steel (JPN) out of the Congrats mare Forever Darling. The victory was worth $3,640,000 and increased his earnings to $19,358,590 with a record of 13-10-0-3 that includes three Grade or Group 1 wins.

Winning owner Susumu Fujita (Forever Young (JPN)) – “My dream has come true, winning the Breeders' Cup Classic. It was also the last opportunity to race against great 4-year-old, Sierra Leone and Fierceness as they are going to retire. Great to win the race against them as well."

Winning trainer Yosh*to Yahagi (Forever Young (JPN)) – "Training horses doesn’t usually go as I planned. He was 75% fit in his last appearance in the Nihon TV Hai and we were aiming to get him 100% fit here for the Classic. It went as I planned and he is a great horse who can make my plan real. He will stay in training and we would like to win all races he will run all over the world. The 2026 Classic at Keeneland is of course one of our options but it will be chilly in Kentucky!”

Live Racing for the 16-Day Bing Crosby Meet continues every Friday through Sunday until November 30.

OLAF WIEGHORST MUSEUM ANNOUNCES THE FIRST ANNUAL FASHION SHOW FUNDRAISER – “BOOTS AND BELLES: FASHIONS AT THE “WIEGGY!”

El Cajon, CA – November 8, 2025 – 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Olaf Wieghorst Museum and Western Heritage Center is thrilled to announce our First Annual Fashion
Show Fundraiser – “Boots and Belles: Fashions at the Wieggy” featuring the stunning designs of local artist and designer Dawn Hough Sebaugh, whose WALA Collection blends the color, creativity, and western spirit that defines our community.

Located in the heart of the Art District in El Cajon, the museum stands as a tribute to the man whose vivid portrayals of the American West captured the spirit of a bygone era. Olaf Wieghorst not only painted the West, but he also lived it. Of all the places he could have called home, he chose El Cajon, where he raised his family, connected deeply with neighbors, and truly began his artistic journey. Olaf is known as “The Dean of Western Art” and his work has been proudly placed in the Oval Office by four American Presidents.

The Fashion Show will take place at the Wieghorst Museum, 131 Rea Avenue, El Cajon, CA and will feature Dawn Hough Sebaugh designs worn by her beautiful models along with a Silent Auction, Cocktail Fare and wine or soft drinks.
