He started off the 2019 season by competing in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes, but placed 9th. He did not pick up his first win for the 2019 season until he captured the 2019 Alydar Stakes.[3] He beat Wooderson by a length.

He finished the 2019 season with two wins. He captured the Fayette Stakes on October 26th, beating Mr Freeze by over four lengths in a sloppy race. [4] Tom's d'Etat then captured the biggest win of his career on November 29, 2019, by winning the Grade 1 Clark Handicap. He entered the race as a 9:10 favorite and defeated Owendale and Mr Freeze. [5]
