Secret Secret

Secret Secret is the kind of horse that proves you don't need to spend a fortune to find a racehorse with plenty of heart. James Moffatt picked him up at the sales for just £1,500—a punt on a horse with a patchy reputation—and it has paid off handsomely. The ten-year-old has won 6 races from 38 outings, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 races, but the real story is how he has thrived under Moffatt's care. His last victory came at Cartmel in July 2025, and while he hasn't found the winner's circle in his last six races, he remains an active and competitive racer in lower-grade company.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Where Secret Secret truly shines is on wet or muddy ground. On soft terrain he has won twice from eight races—a 25% win rate. On properly wet ground, his record improves to 2 wins from 5 races, a remarkable 40% success rate that shows he is a genuine specialist on the kind of tracks that many horses dislike. This is his signature strength, the type of detail that makes him valuable to the yard planning his races carefully. In Class 5 races—the lower grade where he typically competes—he has won 5 of 19 races, a 26% rate that demonstrates he is a genuine force at this level.

Charlotte Jones has been his most successful jockey, winning on him 4 times from 17 rides together, a 24% partnership rate that suggests real understanding between horse and rider. Moffatt spoke about the horse's transformation since arrival, describing him as "a little revelation" and highlighting back-to-back wins at Cartmel and Kelso that justified the gamble on an unfashionable purchase. At ten years old, Secret Secret may not have many years left at the top, but his toughness and willingness to battle hard over ground he loves means there is still mileage in this old warrior yet.
