belmont newmarket 2025 Results
The official 2025 Belmont Newmarket results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday, August 9, 2025.
- #2 Phanta
- #7 Fluro Neuro
- #12 Stormchaser
Veteran eight-year-old Phanta ($7) returned to winning form in style at Pinjarra Park in 2025, claiming his second Listed Belmont Newmarket with a bold front-running ride by Brad Parnham, who fittingly celebrated his birthday with the victory. With the Belmont track out of commission, the race was shifted to Pinjarra, where Phanta thrived on the on-pace conditions, fending off Fluro Neuro and Stormchaser in a gritty finish. The win was a culmination of a carefully timed winter campaign by trainers Chris and Michael Gangemi, who had struggled to find the right setup for Phanta in previous seasons. The gelding hadn’t won since his 2023 Belmont Newmarket triumph, making this result a significant comeback and reaffirming his class. With over $580,000 in earnings and a pedigree linked to stakes winners like Ginger Flyer and Not Related, Phanta’s resurgence could see him targeted at further black-type races this spring.
