About
Strait Up Country is a 4yo racehorse from the United States trained by Brendan W. Galvin. He is by the stallion Smiling Tiger out of Kadley. So far, the horse has recorded a single win. On 16 Jan 2026 at Santa Anita, Strait Up Country secured its most notable triumph, collecting the $70,000.00 M.D. prize. It has proved a profitable runner for punters, and backing it throughout its career would have yielded a 150% return on investment.
