April '08: Swiss Ace (3c, Secret Savings-Rapid Serve, by Carson City) posted his third consecutive black-type victory when defeating Brisbane's finest open-class sprinters to take the Group 2 QTC Sir Byrne Hart Stakes (1200m).

Winner of the Listed BTC Chief de Beers Quality (1110m) and Listed Toowoomba Weetwood Handicap (1200m) at his previous two outings, the 3-year-old son of Secret Savings was opposed by the likes of Mitanni, Roman Squire and La Montagna but did best in the feature sprint traditionally staged on the eve of the Queensland Winter Carnival.

Swiss Ace is now the winner of nine races from 11 starts and has accrued over $350,000 for his connections after having been purchased for just $6,000 as a yearling. The talented colt also placed second in the Listed BTC Vo Rogue Plate (LR) in one of only two outings he has not saluted the judge.

The prestigious Group 2 QTC Sir Byrne Hart Stakes (1200m) is proving to be a good race for the progeny of Emirates Park resident stallions. In last year's renewal, Danewin's brilliant sprinting son Mitanni won from Anwaar, a notable stakes winner by Secret Savings.
