Secret Of Life, unbeaten in her first two starts for trainer Ralph Beckett, was bidding to make it a hat trick in the Listed Coral Distaff Stakes over one mile at Sandown Park on Saturday 4th July.
The exciting three-year-old daughter of Pinatubo was given a lovely ride from the front by jockey Rossa Ryan, making all and dictating the pace before winding it up within the last quarter mile and stretching clear to go on and win by two and three quarter lengths. She looks an exciting prospect for her handler, having stepped up into Listed company for the first time and dispatching the field with ease.
Bred and owned by D J and Mrs Deer out of the mare Be My Gal (Galileo), she is a half-sister to winner Colourful Dream (Dubawi).
Pinatubo was only bettered by Champion Sire Night Of Thunder in the northern hemisphere in 2025 with a ratio of 14% Black Type performers to runners - more than any stallion standing in Britain. His third crop of yearlings sold for up to 340,000gns.
