A determined daughter of Wildcat Heir, Secret Heiress, has made it an 8 way tie for 2nd place. The Samuel Breaux student won for the 9th time this year at Fair Grounds yesterday, 5.5f. She broke her maiden in her 2nd race as a 2yr old at Hollywood Park on 7/16/09. In her 4th race she permanently moved to Louisiana where she's 11-9-1 this year. Career 34-14-3-1.
