About
Bottler'secret is a 5yo bay racehorse trained by Aidan Melia in Kildare. He is by Dragon Pulse out of Himiko. So far he has recorded four wins. On 2 April 2024 at Fairyhouse he secured his most important triumph, winning the $25,252.00 O'Driscoll's Irish Whiskey Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2). The horse has proved profitable for bettors; a backer who supported him throughout his career would have achieved a 118 % return on investment.
