Winchester strikes in Secretariat
The Dermot Weld-trained Winchester ran out a hugely impressive winner of the Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park under Rene Douglas.
Hot favourite Tizdejavu led the field in the early stages of the mile and a quarter contest but Winchester swept past him soon after turning for home.
The result was never in doubt from that stage as the three-year-old went further clear in the straight to score readily from Aidan O’Brien’s Plan, giving Ireland a 1-2 in the Grade One contest.
