It’s the seventh stakes win for the graded stakes winning 6-year-old, sold for $160,000 by Crupi’s New Castle Farm, Agent, at the 2011 March Sale after an Under Tack eighth in :10 flat. He’s trained by Linda Rice, who also trained his sire, OBS graduate City Zip. The win gives him a 27-12-4 record and earnings of $1,481,550.  watch his under tack video

Alpha Delta Stables’ Ancient Secret was anything but a secret prior to her debut in a six furlong $70,000 maiden special on the Belmont turf course, and the Chad Brown trained 2-year-old filly by Kantharos was sent off the even money favorite. Living up to her advance billing, she surged to the lead a furlong from the wire and sailed home a three length winner. Consigned by de Meric Sales, Agent, to the 2015 OBS April Sale, she sped an Under Tack quarter in :21 1/5 before being purchased by Steven W. Young, Agent, for $225,000.
