The problem you have is that it's not a minority. It's 70-80% of the public - the electorate - based on NZ and Oz research. Ignore it at your peril. -

'TDN Rising Star' Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) put it all together when it mattered most in 2024, taking advantage of a fast pace to whistle home in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar on Nov. 2. His defeat of 'TDN Rising Star' Fierceness and top Japanese runner Forever Young (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}) tilted the scales in his direction and in the end, he was named a convincing winner of the 3-year-old male Eclipse Award. Second, beaten just a nose after lugging in repeatedly down the stretch as fellow 'Rising Star' and favored Fierceness (City of Light) faded to 15th on the first Saturday in May, Sierra Leone got going a little too late and had to settle for third as the favorite while finishing in a field-best :25.40 five weeks later in the GI Belmont Stakes. He made two more starts at the Spa and was favored again in both, finishing a strong second in the GII Jim Dandy Stakes and third in a GI Travers Stakes for the ages, both won by Fierceness. He defeated that rival by 1 1/2 lengths in the Classic, good for a career-best 112 Beyer Speed Figure. Sierra Leone, a $2.3-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling sale topper and future Coolmore stallion, is campaigned in partnership by the powerhouse line-up of Peter Brant, Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, Westerberg and Brook T. Smith. Sierra Leone is one of 10 Grade I winners worldwide for Gun Runner. He is the second champion for the leading young sire, who also claims the ill-fated 2021 champion 2-year-old filly Echo Zulu. He is the second foal out of GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes heroine Heavenly Love (Malibu Moon). Sierra Leone has remained in training for a 4-year-old campaign, and is being aimed at the $20-million G1 Saudi Cup Feb. 22.

With victories in 2024 in two of the most prestigious races run in this country, National Treasure (Quality Road) proved a handy winner of the Eclipse Award for champion older dirt male, easily outpointing GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile upseter Full Serrano (Arg) (Full Mast) and Straight No Chaser (Speightster), who caused a bit of a surprise in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint. National Treasure is just the second Bob Baffert trainee to take home the statuette in this particular division (Improbable, 2020). After giving future Horse of the Year Cody's Wish (Curlin) all he could handle in a thrilling renewal of the Dirt Mile in 2023, National Treasure raced first off the nearly three-month layoff in the GI Pegasus World Cup Jan. 27. Forced to take up pace-pressing duties as opposed to making the running, the $500,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling did so willingly, was sent to the front in upper stretch and held on grimly to score by a neck over a determined Senor Buscador (Mineshaft). A hard-trying fourth to the latter in the G1 Saudi Cup a month later, National Treasure returned stateside and was prepared for the GI Hill 'n' Dale Metropolitan Handicap at Saratoga the second Saturday of June. Hounded on the front end through demanding fractions, the bay won the battle and the war, drawing away by better than a half-dozen lengths. Unable to find the front and forced to sit in the kickback on a rain-affected track in the GI Whitney Stakes, National Treasure was never a threat, but bounced back with a more characteristic performance in the inaugural running of the GI California Crown Stakes in September, fighting out the fractions before being chinned on the wire. A fourth North American champion for Quality Road, National Treasure will cover his first book of mares at Spendthrift Farm this winter at a fee of $40,000.
