Irish One-Two At Arlington The Dermot Weld-trained Winchester ran out a hugely impressive winner of the Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park under local rider Rene Douglas. Hot favourite Tizdejavu led the field in the early stages of the mile and a quarter contest but Winchester, blinkered for the first time, swept past him soon after turning for home. The result was never in doubt from that stage as the three-year-old went further clear in the straight to score readily from Aidan O'Brien's Plan, giving Ireland a 1-2 in the Grade One contest. Weld said: "He's a nice horse and ten furlongs is the right trip for him. "When he won his maiden he beat the filly who won the Irish Oaks (Moonstone) and she is obviously top-class. "I probably made a mistake by running him over a mile and a half in the Irish Derby as it was too far for him and that is why I brought him back to ten furlongs. "I think he's a very progressive horse and I will need to discuss it with the owners, but don't be surprised if you see him come back for the Breeders' Cup Turf." Johnny Murtagh, who was on board runner-up Plan, added: "I was never travelling. I was pushing along about five eighths out.
