Norman Stables’ sensational 3-year-old Secret Faith overcame a tardy break to run down Six String and win the $100,000 Delmar R. Caldwell by 2½ lengths. Trained by Jayde Gelner and ridden by C.J. McMahon, she hopped at the start and trailed her four foes early before unleashing a memorable stretch run.

Secret Faith paid $4.20, $2.60 and $2.40. With a career record of 13-10-1-0 and $606,022 in earnings, the Caldwell is her ninth stakes title.

Crusaders Stable’s Not On Herb won the $100,000 Andrew Ney Memorial in similar fashion to how he won last meet’s Palmisano. Trained by David Terre and ridden by Paco Lopez, the 5-year-old pressed the front-running Geaux Sugar from the outside, bid in the stretch and edged clear in the final sixteenth.

Not On Herb returned $12, $4.40 and $3.60. His lifetime record now stands at 19-9-1-3 with a bankroll of $399,470.
