Sierra Leone's victory in the Grade I Whitney Stakes at Saratoga Race Course keeps him at the top of the Classic Division but he'll have to work to stay there.

On Saturday, Brown finally crossed one of those milestone wins off the list, scoring his first Whitney win as Sierra Leone and jockey Flavien Prat swept down the stretch to capture the Grade 1, $1 million race by a length over Highland Falls.

Sierra Leone and Fierceness have a great history and, as last time out, Fierceness is favored at Saratoga this afternoon. Sierra Leone just has to bring his big run.
