About

State In Texas is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Jimmy Downes, based at Beaudesert. He is by the stallion Star Turn out of Amarillo. To date he has secured four wins. On 14 Aug 2025 at Ipswich he achieved his most important victory, taking the $28000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. The horse has been a profitable runner for punters, and anyone who backed him throughout his career would have earned a 12% return on investment.
