Summary
- Kings Sicario won the $100,000 Broome Cup in a thrilling finish.
- This marked the horse's third Country Cup win in less than a month.

The Darryn Patemen-trained Kings Sicario delivered a spectacular performance to clinch the $100,000 Broome Cup. This significant win concludes an exceptional racing campaign for the seven-year-old gelding.
Kings Sicario's victory at Broome was his third Country Cup win in less than a month. Earlier, he secured the $30,000 Derby Cup on July 18 and the $35,000 Kimberley Cup on August 1. Both previous wins were more comfortable margins than the thrilling blanket finish seen in the Broome Cup.
Jockey Tash Faithfull's expert handling was crucial. Despite Kings Sicario starting from gate eight and trailing by eleven lengths early, Faithfull maintained patience. She guided the horse through the field with a strategic charge in the final stretch, ultimately securing the win in a tightly contested race.
Let'sDeal, a horse previously beaten by a significant margin by Kings Sicario, put in a strong performance to finish second at long odds. The joint favorites, Maxxi Bona and Manavendra, were unable to secure a place in the top finishers.
