In Secret New 2YO SW for Nick that Clicks

Tara Madgwick - Saturday May 14

Godolphin don’t have many horses by champion sire I Am Invincible in their powerful stable, but a filly they bought for $900,000 from Magic Millions last year looks like being well worth the money after winning the $140,000 Listed Woodlands Stud Stakes (1100m) at Scone on Saturday.

Trained by James Cummings and ridden by Hugh Bowman, In Secret won at Hawkesbury on debut last month and made it two wins in as many starts when she hit the line hard to win by a length running away.
 

"She has got intelligence and she has got ability and that will take her a long way in her racing career," said Godolphin representative Darren Beadman.
 
"First time here at Scone today, she has just taken everything in her stride. 

"She still had a bit of work to do at the 250 (metres) but she has got gears. She is a very promising filly." 
 

In Secret was bred in partnership by Longwood Thoroughbred Farm and Segenhoe, who consigned her for sale, and is the second winner from former brilliant Group III winning filly Eloping, who won over $1.2million in prizemoney.

In Secret was a $900,000 Magic Millions yearling.

Longwood Thoroughbred Farm sold the current yearling from Eloping, a filly by Trapeze Artist, for $200,000 at Inglis Premier this year to Mick Price Racing and Breeding.

Eloping has a filly to follow by Snitzel and is back in foal to In Secret’s sire I Am Invincible.

In Secret is the 78th stake-winner for Yarraman Park’s champion sire I Am Invincible and highlights one of his most successful nicks.

I Am Invincible over daughters of Choisir has a 100% success rate with 11 winners from 11 runners and In Secret is the third stakes-winner joining Group I placed Group III winner Eckstein and stakes-winner I Am Eloquent.
