Lady's Secret (April 8, 1982 – March 4, 2003) was an American Eclipse Award winning Thoroughbred racemare that was listed in the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century. Lady's Secret was bred by Robert H. Spreen at Lucas Farm in Oklahoma. Spreen sold her for $200,000 to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Klein (former owner of the San Diego Chargers), and she was prepared for racing by Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. She was a small horse, weighing no more than about 900 pounds.
Sired by U.S. Triple Crown champion Secretariat and out of Great Lady M. Lady's Secrets dam was the daughter of the great sire Icecapade, who although a very fast horse, could never compare to his full half sister Ruffian, the greatest filly of the century. Additionally, Lady's Secret was also closely related to Ruffian on her sires side since Secretariat was a brother to Reviewer (Ruffian's sire) who is considered the second fastest son of Bold Ruler. With a pedigree following closely on both sides to Ruffian, it is not hard to see where Lady's Secrets front running style and speed came from for Ruffian was always on the lead.
