Secreto (February 12, 1981-1999) was a Maryland bred Thoroughbred racehorse who raced in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
A son of Northern Dancer, Secretro's damsire was the U.S. Triple Crown champion, Secretariat. He was bred by E. P. Taylor at the Maryland branch of his Windfields Farm. He was purchased by Luigi Miglietti and trained in Ireland by David O'Brien.
In the 1984 Epsom Derby, Secreto defeated the odds-on favourite El Gran Senor, trained by David O'Briens's father Vincent, by a short-head.[1] He never ran again after his Derby success and was retired to stud at Calumet Farm in Kentucky before being sent to Japan in 1992 where he died in 1999. His most notable offspring was the 1991 English 2,000 Guineas winner Mystiko. Secreto's half brother Istabraq won the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham's National Hunt Festival in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
