Racing: Lucky Secret eyesTelegraph

Melbourne trainer Tony Vasil is looking at bringing star sprinter Lucky Secret to New Zealand for the major summer sprint races.

Vasil is eyeing the $200,000 Railway Stakes at Ellerslie on New Year's Day and the $1 million Telegraph Handicap at Trentham on January 23.

But first Lucky Secret is to make a hit-and-run visit to Perth for Saturday's group two Winterbottom Stakes.

Lucky Secret, a 6-year-old by Rubiton, has won 14 of his 23 starts and almost $1 million in prizemoney.

A winner three times at group two level, Lucky Secret set a 1000m course record when he ran 55.97secs at Caulfield in the Schillaci Stakes last month.

The gelding is yet to win at group one level but was beaten by just a short-head by Swiss Ace in the Oakleigh Plate (1100m) on his home track last February.Kauto Star shines
