On
May 23, 2013 Gerald and Sandra Benowitz, Mathilde Powell and
Paul A. Viskovich claimed a five year old gelding named Soi
Phet for $16,000. In the hands of trainer Leonard Powell the
horse bloomed. He won the 2014 Bertrando Stakes and Los
Alamitos Mile, the 2016 McCann's Mojave Handicap, Harry F.
Brubaker Stakes, the 2016 and 2017 E. B. Johnston Stakes, the
2018 Crystal Water Stakes and Bertrando Stakes. Usually Kent
Desormeaux was on board; Mike Smith and Alonso Quinonez also
shared in the stakes wins. Soi Phet’s 2018 Crystal
Waters victory at 10 made him the oldest stakes winner in
Santa Anita history. That Fourth of July, Leonard Powell
tweeted, “We believe Soi Phet is following the American
Dream where nothing cannot be done, with work and
perseverance. We can't summarize what he has accomplished for
us. Thank you Soi Phet. I will like to believe that some of
those fireworks will be for you today.” Soi Phet retired
with $1,023,917 earnings in 64 races with 15 wins, 7 seconds
and 6 thirds. After his final race the West Coast hero headed
east for his new home at Old Friends, which thanks to his
connections, Gerald and Sandra Benowitz, Mathilde Powell and
