Chicks Gotta Secret Finds Spot With Mr Jet Moore Victory

RUIDOSO DOWNS, New Mexico (August 6, 2010) – Higheasterjet Handicap third-place finisher Chicks Gotta Secret did not need to face the two horses who beat him in the Higheasterjet and found the competition to his liking with a solid victory in the Grade 3, $30,000 Mr Jet Moore Handicap on Sunday afternoon at Ruidoso Downs.

The 2-1 favorite Chicks Gotta Secret won by one length over Stare Ya Down, who made a determined bid within the final 150 yards of the 400-yard dash. Anywhere Bully finished just a nose behind Stare Ya Down for third in the race for older horses.

Chicks Gotta Secret, with Jacky Martin aboard for the first time, was timed in :19.495.

Owned by Beatrice Alaniz and Naomi Salas, Chicks Gotta Secret has spent most of 2010 competing at the conditioned allowance level and then stepped up with his third-place run behind Shy Ann Jess and Shake It Quick in the 350-yard Higheasterjet on July 3 at 24-1 odds.

The J.J. Gonzales II-trained Chicks Gotta Secret will now probably point to the Grade 3, $40,000 All American Gold Cup on September 5. Higheasterjet winner Shy Ann Jess should resurface in the All American Gold Cup.

A 5-year-old New Mexico-bred son of Chicks A Blazin, Chicks Gotta Secret has now won four of 18 starts after being purchased for $6,200 at the Ruidoso Select Quarter Horse Sale. He has earned $82,368.
