Phileas Fogg

Phileas Fogg won his maiden race as a 3-year-old in 2023 and enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in as a 4-year-old in 2024 in a six-win campaign that started with a nw2l claiming win going a mile on the grass at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 4 and concluded with a stakes win in the $150,000 Queens County Stakes going 1 1/8 miles on the main track at Aqueduct on Dec. 28, 2024.

The Queens County victory was the first stakes success for Phileas Fogg, but it wouldn't be the last. Phileas Fogg continued his upward career trajectory as the year 2025 progressed. First, he added another $150,000 stakes win in New York when he took the 1 1/4-mile Excelsior Stakes at Aqueduct on April 5. Then, after a second-place finish in the Grade 3 Pimlico Special on May 16, Phileas Fogg earned the first graded stakes win of his career when victorious in the Grade 2 $400,000 Suburban Stakes going 1 1/4 miles at Saratoga on July 4, 2025, going wire-to-wire and holding off late-running Antiquarian by a head. The second half of the 2025 campaign for Phileas Fogg consisted of a third-place finish in the Grade 3 Jockey Club Gold Cup, and second-place finish behind Locked in the Grade 2 Woodward Stakes, and a fourth in the Grade 2 Cigar Mile Stakes to complete his season on Dec. 5.

Phileas Fogg returned for his 6-year-old season in 2026 and was back in the winner's circle on May 1 at Aqueduct with a wire-to-wire allowance optional claiming win at 1 1/8 miles. That race prepped him for a return engagement in the Grade 2 Suburban Stakes at Saratoga on July 4. Looking for a repeat of his 2025 victory in the same race, Phileas Fogg did himself one better. He took command of an 11-horse field early in the $500,000 Suburban Stakes and absolutely demolished the field in front running fashion to win by 10 lengths in a career-best effort.
