Smart Strike (May 21, 1992, in Ontario – March 25, 2015)[1] was a Canadian Thoroughbred racehorse.
Owned and bred by Sam-Son Farm, on the racetrack, Smart Strike's most important win came in the Grade I Philip H. Iselin Handicap.
However, he was just developing into a top-flight horse when his career was cut short by injury.
[2] Since he was retired to stud duty at Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, in 1997, Smart Strike's value as a stallion rose dramatically as a result of the performance of his offspring.
While remarkably healthy and fertile until early 2015, Smart Strike was humanely euthanized on March 25, 2015, as a result of complications due to laminitis.
