Suddenly, the Lady's Secret looks like it might actually be interesting...

Blind Luck, the leading candidate for an Eclipse Award as outstanding 3-year-old filly, could challenge unbeaten Zenyatta in the Lady's Secret Stakes at Hollywood Park on Oct. 2.

"We're going to nominate her to the Lady's Secret," said Dan Ward, assistant to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.

Zenyatta, perfect in 18 starts, is pointing to the Lady's Secret prior to a defense of her Breeders' Cup Classic victory Nov. 6 at Churchill Downs.

"We're also going to nominate Blind Luck to the Cotillion at Philadelphia Park the same day," Ward said. "The only concern about the Cotillion is it's a stakes, and she'd have to give away weight."

Blind Luck, purchased privately following a double-digit win in a $40,000 maiden claiming race at Calder on June 21, 2009, worked five furlongs at Hollywood Park on Sunday in 1:00.80.

"It's safe to say she's exceeded everybody's expectations," Ward said of Blind Luck, who, like Zenyatta, likes to spot her rivals big leads before running them down with mind-blowing charges through the stretch.
