Secret Trix

There is something quietly impressive about a nine-year-old horse still finishing in the top three almost every time it runs. Secret Trix has won 7 races and placed 21 times from 36 starts — that is a podium finish in more than three quarters of its career races — and right now it is bang in form, with five consecutive top-three finishes heading into its most recent run just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The win record tells an interesting story too. Seven wins from 36 races works out at roughly 1 in every 5 — a 19% win rate that holds up well at this level of competition, where Secret Trix typically lines up in Class 3 races, some of the better-quality contests outside the very top tier. Two wins from 12 races at that level (17%, or roughly 1 in 6) shows it can get the job done against decent rivals, even if those races are competitive enough that winning is never a given. The highlight of the CV is a Class 2 win at Haydock Park in March 2024 — one of the top races in Britain — which proves this horse can step up when asked.

The partnership with jockey Sean Bowen is one of the most striking features of this profile. In 17 races together, Bowen has ridden Secret Trix to 5 wins — a win rate of 29%, or nearly 1 in 3. That is a noticeably better return than the horse's overall career average, which strongly suggests the two have developed a genuine understanding. When Bowen is in the saddle, Secret Trix simply wins more often, and that kind of consistent chemistry between horse and rider is rarer than it looks.

Behind the scenes, trainer Olly Murphy operates out of Wilmcote in Warwickshire and has had a remarkable season — 146 winners sent out this year alone. That is the output of a yard firing on all cylinders, and Secret Trix sits squarely within a stable that clearly knows how to place its horses well and keep them competitive. The last win came at Kempton Park in November 2025, about eight months ago now, but the recent string of placed efforts suggests Secret Trix is not going quietly — a horse this consistent, trained this well, and with Bowen available, is always worth watching.
