About
Punxsutawney Phil is a 5yo dk b/br colt from United States trained by Horacio De Paz. He is by the stallion More Than Ready out of the mare Chubby Star. To date he has recorded two wins, the highlight coming on 12th Dec 2025 at Turfway Park when he captured the $43500.00 Race 8. He has proved to be a profit‑generating horse for bettors; a lifelong backer would have earned a 172% return on investment.
