Chad C. Brown (born December 18, 1978) is an American racehorse trainer. Brown is widely regarded as one of the elite trainers in the world,^[2] having won four consecutive Eclipse Award for Outstanding Trainer in the United States 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.^[3] In 2019, he also achieved the highest position in the World Training Standings according to the Thoroughbred Racing Commentary (TRC) Global Rankings,^[4] becoming the first and only American trainer to be recognized as the World's Number One Trainer. Brown has secured two Preakness Stakes victories with Cloud Computing in 2017 and Early Voting in 2022,^[5] and narrowly missing a Kentucky Derby victory in 2024 with Sierra Leone.^[6] Early in his career, many sought to pigeonhole him as a "turf trainer" who specialized in fillies and mares.^[7] However, Brown's success has become so diversified that he has demonstrated the ability to win at any distance, with any sex, and on any surface.^[7] Brown has trained 19 Breeders' Cup winners,^[8] including Sierra Leone, the 2024 Breeders' Cup Classic Champion, further showcasing his dominance across the sport. Over his career, he has also trained thirteen Eclipse Award winners, including, Big Blue Kitten, Lady Eli, Flintshire, Goodnight Olive, and Horse of the Year Bricks and Mortar.^[9]
