Since that first win six weeks ago, Secret History has been vindicated twice more. She won again at Newmarket on 11 July, and her most recent form reads as a win, a fourth, a second, a win, a third, and another win. Across eight races, she has won three and finished second or third in another three — a 38% win rate, or 3 wins in 8 attempts. That kind of record speaks to genuine class at her current level, and it is no fluke. Walker's plan was always to take his time with her, to develop her gradually through lower-grade races rather than throw her in at the deep end. He believes she will eventually run over seven furlongs and has mentioned the Sandringham as a possible target — one of the season's most prestigious races for young fillies.
For now, she remains active and racing regularly, and her yard — which has sent out 76 winners already this season — knows exactly what it is doing with her. Secret History may have been frustrating to watch in the early days, but she has become a filly worth watching now.
