About

Classic Nofty is a 3yo bay horse from the United States trained by Phil Schoenthal. He is by Classic Empire out of Move and has picked up two wins so far. On 16th May 2026 at Penn National he captured his most important victory, taking the $41000.00 Race 3. The horse has proved to be a profitable play for punters; a lifelong backer would have earned a 52% return on investment.
