Page 16 Best Kept Secret Provides Harr with First Stakes Win BY CANTERBURY PRESS OFFICE ______SHAKOPEE, MN—Weather was no friend on Thursday to Canterbury Park which had three $50,000 turf stakes scheduled. Relentless rain in Shakopee that began in the early morning hours and continued into late afternoon forced those stakes races to be transferred from the soaked grass course to a sloppy main track resulting in numerous scratches in the Brooks Fields, Minnesota HBPA Distaff and Honor the Hero Stakes. Best Kept Secret and jockey Kelsi Harr led a four- horse field gate to wire in the one-mile Minnesota HBPA Distaff, holding off defending champion Beach Flower. The victory provided jockey Kelsi Harr with her first stakes win. Best Kept Secret is trained by Robert Cline and owned by Tracy Hersman. “This is a great way to start the meet. We backed off on her after Oaklawn,” Cline said. “I was worried we did- n’t have her tight enough. It showed in the last sixteenth [of a mile]. Harr sent Best Kept Secret to the front, setting comfortable fractions early. At the top of the stretch the two-and-a-half-length lead began to diminish as Beach Flower gained ground. She was drifting out and I could hear [Beach Flower] coming,” Harr said. Best Kept Secret had just enough left to hold on to Best Kept Secret (inside)/COADY PHOTO win by a head. She paid $2.60 as the prohibitive favorite. Lord Dragon took advantage of a quick pace set by favorite Dragon, trained by Chris Richard and owned by Jason Totaram, Hieronymus and Tut’s Revenge, closing in the stretch to win the paid $9.60. one-mile Brooks Fields Stakes by a length-and-a-quarter. Rider Drena’s Star, the 3-5 favorite, won the five-furlong Honor the Ruben Fuentes and Lord Dragon survived a claim of foul by the Hero Stakes by two-and-a-half lengths for trainer Robertino rider of Tut’s Revenge, the second-place finisher, after bumping Diodoro and owners Randy Marriot, Clayton Weist and Rick between those two and Hieronymus in deep stretch.
