Teumessias Fox

The most striking fact about Teumessian Fox is his love of Kempton Park. He has won three of his six races there, a 50% win rate that makes the track feel like home. Most recently, he won a Class 2 race at Kempton on 29 March 2025, which happened to be his last victory. Since then, he has raced six times without winning, though he has picked up three placings—signs that he remains competitive without quite finding the line. That last win came just over a year and a half ago, a gap that suggests his best days may be behind him, even if he is still active and still capable of running well.

Where Teumessias Fox truly excels is on wet or muddy ground. He has won four of eight races on such surfaces, a 50% win rate that marks him as a specialist. Pair that preference with his dominance at Kempton—a track where he thrives—and you have a horse whose handlers know exactly where to place him. He usually competes at Class 2 level, where his record is respectable: 3 wins from 22 races. Oisin Murphy, his most frequent partner, has ridden him three times as a winner from eight races together, a 38% win rate that suggests real chemistry between jockey and horse. Trained by Andrew Balding at Kingsclere, Teumessias Fox belongs to a yard sending out winners at a steady clip this season, with 202 to its name. He may not be a star, but he is the sort of horse that knows his game and executes it well when conditions and track align.
