SECRET WIN returned to racing after
an eight-month spell to create a big upset in the Class 2 - 1200m handicap
at Kranji here tonight.
Winner of one race from three starts in New Zealand, the son of Haradasun
rose to prominence when he captured the Group 3 El Dorado Classic over 2200m
last October, after winning in Class 4 the previous start.
The following month, SECRET WIN finished mid-field in the Singapore Gold Cup
over the same trip and has been sidelined since.
Tackling a trip considered too short for the gelding, SECRET WIN was the
second least-backed runner and in his usual running style, settled in the
rear and was the last turning for home.
But SECRET WIN picked up the horses in front one by one and nailed
stable-mate, the rank outside GOOD NEWS by a nose. He paid $243.
"I honestly
didn’t think he could win as he was against horses who looked too good in
this Class - for sprinting types that is," said trainer Daniel Meagher.
"It's good to see SECRET WIN score first-up as it’s taken a long time to get
him back."
There were two other surprises tonight. BERLINETTA broke through for his
maiden win in his 18th start to pay $134. MUSCULAR DRAGON recorded his
second win in 25 starts to pay $113 in the opening event.
