Our Secret Agent Graduates To Graded Stakes Winner In Hendrie At Woodbine

Our Secret Agent had been a graded-stakes bridesmaid twice, finishing second in Grade 3 Whimsical and the Grade 3 Seaway, but in the Hendrie Stakes, she graduated to winner, taking the Grade 3 stakes by 3 1/2 lengths at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario.

Breaking from post two, the 4-year-old filly settled into second early in the 6 1/2 furlong stakes, jockey Kazushi Kimura positioning her a length behind early leader Toffen. Around the final turn, Kimura sent Our Secret Agent up to challenge Toffen, taking over the lead as the field of six straightened into the stretch.

In the stretch, Amalfi Coast made her run at Our Secret Agent, but to no avail. The daughter of Secret Circle had more than enough to put distance between her and Amalfi Coast as they approached the wire. The final time for the 6 1/2 furlongs was 1:15.68.

Amalfi Coast Takes Rail Trip To Win Ontario Fashion

Amalfi Coast put in a last-to-first effort with a ground-saving trip prevail in the Grade 3 Ontario Fashion at Woodbine on Oct. 3, skimming the rail with jockey Justin Stein. The Kevin Attard trainee was last at an early call of the six-furlong contest, and was positioned for a closing bid on the turn. Jeannie's Beepbeep, who dueled with Ima Beast on the backstretch, suffered a serious injury on the turn and had to drift to the outside rail as competitors navigated around her. Stein was able to guide Amalfi Coast back towards the rail to avoid trouble and find a hole to sneak by Ima Beast and hold off a late closing effort from Summer Sunday.
