Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 9, 2020 Journalists Share Posted July 9, 2020 Tom’s d’Etat (Smart Strike–Julia Tuttle, by Giant’s Causeway), hero of the 2019 GI Clark S. and an impressive last out winner of the GII Stephen Foster S., will stand at WinStar Farm upon the conclusion of his racing career. Campaigned by Gayle Benson’s G M B Racing and trainer Al Stall, Jr., the 7-year-old brought $330,000 as a KEESEP yearling. He has compiled a record of 18-11-2-1 and earnings of $1,627,272. He was bred in Kentucky by SF Bloodstock LLC. “When my late husband, Tom, decided in 2014 that we were going to enter the horse racing business, the first place we came to was WinStar Farm to see their operation,” said Gayle Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans. “GMB Racing is extremely excited that our best horse, Tom’s d’Etat, will begin his stud career with Kenny Troutt and his entire team at WinStar. We look forward to watching the second half of his career be just as successful as his first, and we know he will get that opportunity at WinStar. I am also eager to bring many of our mares from Benson Farm to breed to him in the coming years.” The post Tom’s d’Etat to WinStar Farm appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
