About
Sunset Storm is a 5yo dark bay/brown horse from the United States trained by Val Brinkerhoff. He is by Mitole out of Unacloud and has earned four wins so far. On July 21, 2025 at Del Mar, he captured his most important victory, taking the $32,000 Race 2 purse. The horse has been profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 42% return on investment.
