Neddynewnops UK and Outback Secret sat right off the pace and pounced to take victory over an off track in the Noonan Stakes. He was sent off 2-1, beating the even money favorite Black Arrow. Cool Pepper and Unreal Racing checked in second, out gained by the winner.

Black Arrow was sent to the lead, and held sway until the real running started. He submitted, and ended up 3rd by 2 lengths. Flash Flood Warning was up close early, and ended up 4^th by 3 lengths. Omnipotent was never a factor, and ended up 5^th by 9 lengths.

With his victory today Outback Secret is now 2 for 2 over the off track, with a win on two different surfaces in that record. I guess I didn’t see the off track coming. Any way you slice its time for me to eat crow. Black Arrow didn’t win, and I said he was going to run away. Congratulations to the horses who beat him.
