After a notable debut on February 15, 2025, when he secured second place just a length shy of his stablemate Easy Money, Brahma Bull achieved victory on March 8. He triumphed in a Maiden Special Weight race designed for three-year-olds bred in the local area.

Under the guidance of trainer Anthony ‘Baba’ Nunes and while being ridden by Tevin Foster, Brahma Bull executed a well-timed manoeuvre to seize the lead early in the race, never relinquishing it. He crossed the finish line a length and a half ahead of I'm Outstanding, with Ismael Velasquez in the saddle, and Althia, ridden by Phillip Parchment. The race, covering a distance of 6 furlongs, concluded in a time of 1:16.2, with intermediate splits of 24.1, 49.3, and 1:02.3.

As the race got underway, Foster urged Brahma Bull to take command, quickly establishing a solid lead. Althia, Modern Monarch (with Romane Gordon aboard), and I'm Outstanding trailed closely as they approached the halfway point. With each stride, Brahma Bull continued to extend his advantage, leaving his competitors unable to keep pace. As he made the turn for home, Brahma Bull confidently approached the finish line.

Although I'm Outstanding made a late charge to close the gap, Brahma Bull remained resolute and unyielding. This three-year-old chestnut colt is sired by Sunshine N Shadow and is the progeny of the mare Esperanza, who is from the Legal Process lineage.
