Brown's 39th win at the famous New York meet broke the single-season record that stood for five years.

Brown clinched his first Saratoga training title on Sunday after the 39-year-old had finished second to Pletcher in the standings for the past five years.

Brown, the leading trainer on the New York Racing Association circuit in 2015, trained his 1000th career winner at Saratoga on August 24.

"I'm really just like the lead singer of a band; the people behind me make the music” Brown said.

“I have 150 employees and every single one of them I find to be highly skilled and highly dependable in working as a team.

“This is truly a team effort. I'm just a lucky guy to be able to wake up and go to the barn and have them working with me.

"Right here in the picnic area at Saratoga, that's where horse racing first captured me and changed my whole life.

“From that point forward it's been a way of life and not just a job.”

Brown has won six of the 11 graded stakes run on the turf courses at Saratoga this year.

His record run at Saratoga includes Flintshire's win in the G1 Longines Sword Dancer, Dacita's victory in the G1 Diana Stakes, Camelot Kitten's win in the G2 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame, Ancient Secret's victory in the G2 Lake George and Guapaza's win in the G3 Fasig-Tipton Waya.
