What the Nation is saying about the 2009 Secretariat Stakes (G1)...

The Secretariat Stakes was a big win for Take The Points. It brought him back around to the winner circle again. Beating Black Bear Island is no easy task either.

Of course, STS never lost again after losing his maiden. But Black Bear Island went on to race well in Ireland and Great Britain. Storming from the back of the pack at York in 2009 to beat a very good field in the 2009 Dante Stakes.
