About

Somerton Smart, a 3yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Sue Grills. He is by the stallion Exceedance out of Royal Schilling. He has recorded two wins so far. On 26 Oct 2025 at Coonabarabran he captured his most important victory, taking the $50000 3yo+ Maiden Handicap. The horse has proved profitable for punters; backing him for his entire career would generate a 155% return on investment.
