Mud-loving Secrete looks the part

Secrete Stream must go close in the Download New Racing UK iPad App “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle at Wetherby today.

North Yorkshire trainer Malcolm Jefferson thinks a great deal of this five-year-old chestnut, who looked the real deal here over Christmas when he sauntered 11 lengths clear in a reasonable novices’ hurdle.

The form looks strong, too, as the runner-up that day, Allied Answer, has since gone in. Before that, and again over course and distance, Secrete Stream gave the upwardly-mobile Diamond King a bit of a run for his money on what was his hurdling bow.
