About

Battle Secret is a 8yo chestnut gelding trained by Bill & Sam Thurlow & O'malley. He is by Battle Paint out of Ruling Secret. He has amassed seven wins in his career. On 20 Oct 2024 at Waverley he captured his biggest victory, taking the $50,000 Open Handicap. The horse has consistently been profitable for bettors, and a lifelong backer would have realized a 30% return on investment.
