TOM‘S CRUISING – 2023 Bay Colt by Tom’s d’Etat out of Dynazaper (Ghostzapper) – Kentucky Bred
Tom’s Cruising is a really sharp looking colt. He’s good sized for a late May foal with a very athletic body and walk. A very well balanced athlete that looks like a very promising prospect when combined with his pedigree.
The colt is by the exciting Freshman Sire, TOM’S d’ETAT. Tom’s d’Etat was a brilliant and durable race horse. He’s a Grade 1 winner with 6 stakes victories to his credit and 11 victories overall in his 20 starts, on his way to earning $1,762,272 on the track! He showed his durability and toughness, racing to age 7… a rarity in good horses these days. He hit the board in 14 of those 20 starts against the best competition. Some highlights for Tom’s d’Etat:

Tom’s Cruising is currently in training and undergoing the breaking process in Lexington, KY. When ready for the track, he will be placed with top young trainer Christopher Davis.
We expect the horse to race in the Spring, Summer, and Fall at Keeneland / Churchill Downs / Ellis Park. Winters will likely be in Florida at Gulfstream Park, but they could also be at Turfway Park in Florence, KY. Shipping to race at other venues will also be in the cards when it makes sense.
