About
Somerton Smart is a 4yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Sue Grills. He is out of the mare Royal Schilling and sired by Exceedance. To date he has captured three victories. His biggest triumph came on 26 Oct 2025 at Coonabarabran, where he won the $50,000 Super Maiden Handicap. Punters have found him to be a money‑making prospect; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 10% ROI.
