First stakes winner for Secret Remedy

Secret Remedy sired his first stakes winner when Potent Secret landed the Listed Summer Scorcher (1000m) at Ascot on New Year’s Eve.

Formerly based with studmaster Vern Pitter at Waroona, Secret Remedy won two editions of the G3 Prince Of Wales Stakes as well as the G3 Roma Cup for trainer Neville Parnham.

A son of Evergreen Lodge sire Zedrich (Zeditave), he sired 40 lives foals before a final cover in October 2012.

Potent Secret (6h Secret Remedy – Simmo’s Speedstar by Land Speed Record) has won 11 races and $193,000 in prizemoney for a syndicate that races him with Albany trainer Roy Rogers.  He was coming off a running double at Mt Baker and a last-start second to Malibu Style in the LR Crawford Quality at Ascot on December 10.

“He’s always shown plenty of ability,” Rogers said.  “But he’s had some issues and we’ve had to be patient.”

Rogers indicated Potent Secret will head to the LR Miss Andretti Stakes at Ascot on January 14.
