Tom Drury
After Tom's d'Etat crossed the finish line first in the Gr. 1 600,000 Clark Stakes at Churchill Downs, there was one person missing from the winner’s circle photo - trainer Tommy Drury. Al Stall, Jr. is the actual trainer of Tom’s d’Etat, but Drury is the "Behind the Scenes" conditioner who adds Stall and a variety of other high-profile trainers to his list of clients. Through the back roads of rural Highway 42, just past Goshen, Ky., lies Skylight Training Center - the place trainer Tommy Drury has called home for more than 30 years. Drury not only cares for horses returning to the races and younger horses, but his on-track career has skyrocketed over the last decade with the 48-year-old conditioner winning at a 23 percent clip.
