About

King's Secret is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, trained by Joseph Pride. He is by Shalaa out of Confidential Queen. As a stakes winner with total earnings of $793,725, he is seen as a horse of above‑average class. On 1 Jan 2026 at Canterbury, Andrew Adkins rode him to his biggest victory, capturing the $200,000 Canterbury Sprint over The Instructor. The horse has consistently yielded profit for bettors, and a lifetime backing would have generated an 80% ROI.
