Lady’s Secret Stakes Entries at Santa Anita September 27
The unbeaten 4-year-old filly Zenyatta, who has towered over her opposition in 7 starts, will be a solid choice in the $250,000 Lady’s Secret Stakes at 1 1/16 miles, but could get her sternest test yet when facing Hystericalady, winner of 3 consecutive Grade II stakes by a combined 19 1/2 lengths.
While only 5 fillies and mares entered the Lady’s Secret at Santa Anita Park, attention will be riveted on Zenyatta and Hystericalady. Zenyatta, with regular jockey Mike Smith aboard for race horse trainer John Shirreffs, drew just outside of Hystericalady, who will break from post position No. 3.
Zenyatta’s 7 triumphs have generated earnings of $914,580 and raves from her esteemed rider. “She’s just amazing,” jockey Mike Smith said following her Clement L. Hirsch Handicap victory at Del Mar. “I think it’s great for the sport that we have one like her. She set a track record in this race, but had I let her go, no telling what she might have done.”
Said Jockey Mike Smith after the daughter of Street Cry took Hollywood Park’s Milady Handicap: “Amazing. All I can say is just amazing. I’m beside myself. There’s no word in my vocabulary to describe her.” Smith, incidentally, was the regular rider of the last female to be selected Horse of the Year, Azeri in 2002.
The 5-year-old daughter of Distorted Humor, Hystericalady, who has earned $2,290,556 from 11 wins in 21 starts, likes to run on or near the lead. She would appear to have a significant pace advantage under jockey Garrett Gomez in the compact Lady’s Secret field.
“I would never say that we have an edge going into a race,” cautioned Jerry Hollendorfer, yet Hystericalady’s co-owner and trainer added, “but I would hope to use her speed to an advantage.”
The complete field for the Lady’s Secret (all starters carry 124 pounds) with jockeys in post position order:
Super Freaky ridden by jockey Martin Garcia
Wake Up Maggie (IRE) ridden by jockey Tyler Baze
Hystericalady ridden by jockey Garrett Gomez
Zenyatta ridden by jockey Mike Smith
Santa Teresita ridden by jockey Michael Baze
The Lady’s Secret Stakes is the 5th race in Oak Tree at Santa Anita’s September 27 horse racing program. Lady’s Secret post time is 2:30 pm.
