Japanese-trained racehorse Forever Young is targeting a rare repeat victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic, following his triumph in the 2025 edition at Del Mar, California.
The colt, ridden by jockey Ryusei Sakai, won the 2025 Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar, becoming the first Japanese horse to capture the prestigious race. He now prepares to defend his title in the 2026 running, a feat rarely accomplished in the event's history.
Forever Young's connections are optimistic about his chances, citing his current form and suitability to the track. A repeat win would cement his place among the all-time greats of the Breeders' Cup.
