ARCADIA, Calif. - Secret Circle, a four-time stakes winner who was a well-beaten second to Bodemeister in the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park last weekend, will be given a rest in coming weeks and will not start in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 5, trainer Bob Baffert said on Thursday.
Baffert said that Secret Circle was undergoing precautionary medical tests at a veterinary clinic in Lexington, Ky., on Thursday. The trainer said that was unlikely that Secret Circle would need any sort of surgery, and that running in the Kentucky Derby was not planned.
Owned by the partnership of Mike Pegram, Karl Watson, and Paul Weitman, Secret Circle has won 5 of 7 starts and $1,018,990. A colt by Eddington, Secret Circle won two stakes at Oaklawn Park earlier this year – a division of the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes in February and the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes in March.
Last fall, Secret Circle won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint at Churchill Downs.
WELL FELLAS YOU HAVE ARM CHAIR QUARTERBACKS AND NOW ARMCHAIR
TRAINERS. MR. BAFFERD DID NOT ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE HAS DONE OR BECOME A RESPECTED TRAINER SITTING IN A ARMCHAIR. LOOK FOR THE UNAVIOUS IN
THIS RUN FOR THE ROSES.

Secrets a great horse/And hopefully well see him in the near future.
All he did was perform and perform well he did!
he supposedly couldn't get a mile,he couldnt get turn turns ;he couldnt get a mile and 1/16th
and he only got beat @ 9furlongs by the derby favorite .
Good luck Secret !

i would'nt say the horses are juiced but i am going to say some trainers in their quest to be # 1 push the horses way to hard, and this is especially true with young horses or when a huge race like the derby is in their sights.

Joel,line up behind Junior at the windows. Bettors need guys like you more than racing secs need horses. You guys don't wear aluminum foil hats,do you?
|
 |
As long as none of the speed defects it's ok with me. That last 1/4 mile will be quite interesting
|
|
Now I am hearing that Secret Circle is out because of a sesamoid injury. If that's so it's very serious and perhaps career-ending.
|
|
I always though that Secret Circle was more of a Preakness- type prospect. Better sense (or injury) has prevailed!
|
Baffert don't care. I feel bad for the horse not the connections

FLAMBOYANCE brings class appeal to the table as one who has spent her career facing steeper. She also has reason to move forward in this, her second start since January. WINE ME UP BABY was third against steeper last out and for the effort earned what ranks as this field's best last-race Beyer Figure. VALERIA figures to be a late threat on the cutback from six panels to five and a half furlongs.
