Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Reigning Breeders' Cup Classic champion Sierra Leone earned a repeat trip to that race with a victory in Saturday's Grade I Whitney Stakes, but still has a scramble to nail down the leadership of his division.
Deterministic and Seismic Beauty also captured "Win and You're In" Breeders' Cup spots and Ewing and Mythical emerged as top 2-year-olds -- all in weekend racing.
On the global front, Nicoreni defended local honor in Germany and Fallen Angel won a tough edition of the Prix Rothschild in France.

Saturday's $1 million Grade I Whitney at Saratoga attracted an appropriately talented field, including the last two winners of the Breeders' Cup Classic.
