SEA OF SECRETS COLT IMPRESSES IN GRADE 2 BEST PAL AT DEL MAR

Undefeated PRINCIPLE SECRET firmly established himself as a major contender for 2-year-old honors with a dominating three-length victory in the $150,000 Best Pal Stakes, a Grade 2 event on August 13 at Del Mar.

The son of SEA OF SECRETS had launched his career three weeks earlier with a 4 3/4-length victory in a maiden special weight race at the seaside track, and he followed that impressively by becoming a graded stakes winner in only his second start.

In those two starts, PRINCIPLE SECRET has earned $121,800 for his owner, Charles Cono LLC.

PRINCIPLE SECRET almost dropped to his knees at the start of the Best Pal and raced wide all the way to the turn, where he was three deep heading for home in the 6 1/2-furlong race. But when the field straightened away in the stretch, jockey Alex Solis took him quickly to the lead. He drew clear "under a tap of the whip" and sailed to the wire under "steady handling."

He was bred in Kentucky by Victory Racing LLC and is trained by Christopher Paasch.

Trainer Paasch indicated will head for New York and a start in the Grade 1 Belmont Futurity on September 23. "We're trying not to be hard on them," Paasch said. "We want to develop 3-year-olds. The Del Mar Futurity might be a little quick back for PRINCIPLE SECRET."

PRINCIPLE SECRET is the 12th stakes horse sired by SEA OF SECRETS and the second 2006 California stakes winner, joining the wickedly fast filly MY MISS STORM CAT. SEA OF SECRETS is Top Five Nationally ranked Sire of Two-year-olds for 2006!

SEA OF SECRETS: A TOP 2-YEAR-OLD SIRE!

Keeping up his torrid pace, SEA OF SECRETS through Aug4 has SEVEN two-year-old winners, ranking him SECOND in California and TOP TEN NATIONALLY!!!

Through July 2, 2006, SEA OF SECRETS is the number two sire of 2-year-olds in California by money won, winners and is in the top ten in average earnings per runner. To view the complete lists of leading sires, click here
