Privately purchased on behalf of Madaket Stables, joining Patricia’s Hope and Phillip Sagan before the Kentucky Derby, Two Phil’s went on to finish a gallant 2nd in the first classic of the season after chasing a fast pace all the way around the track. Two Phil’s would make the final start of his career in the G3 Ohio Derby, winning that race by 5 3/4 lengths while earning a 105 Beyer and a 5 1/2 Ragozin figure.
