Off the 4-5 favourite, In Secret circled around his competition to score an open-length victory in the $8,500 Preferred 3 Trot at Flamboro Downs on Saturday (Sept. 19).
Driver Jonathan Drury landed In Secret in fifth while pylon-starter Waikiki Hanover led to a :27.4 first quarter. Sicario sat the pocket while Caviars Triumph edged first over to apply minor pressure by a :57 half. But the first-over foe lost stride nearing three-quarters in 1:26.2, prompting In Secret’s rush to move three wide before sliding past Sicario into the final turn. Through the stretch the eight-year-old Deweycheatumnhowe gelding coasted to a four-length win in 1:56 with Sicario settling for second and Bastiano taking third.
Owned by CTC Stable, In Secret won his third race from 14 starts this season and his 40th from 155 overall, earning $889,901. He paid $3.60 to win.
