Gate 18: Fennik
Gate 22: Fonks the Fox
Gate 23: Vera Vixen
Gate 45: Ferris Homer Swiper Carlson
At the Beach and Fox U did not even attempt the Pentominous. No fox tried to use gate 5 or 6; if one had, they could have stolen the win from Faux-Chi. Gates 2 and 4 were the most crowded, with 4 foxes each. Besides the winner Faux-Chi, 6 other foxes managed to finish.

21 foxes qualified for the second race, the Sneakness Stakes, by solving two puzzles. Race results:
Gate 1: Fleet Fox, Pifoot
Gate 2: Endless Foxtabilities, Paul, Ruin Seeker
Gate 3: Cowlitz, Farrah Foxcett, Nesi
Gate 4: Isaac
Gate 5: Faux-Chi
Gate 6: At the Beach

Gate 13: Run Ron Run
Gate 15: Open Scoregami Ties
Gate 17: Fonks the Fox
Gate 18: Fennik
Gate 23: Pandora’s Fox
Gate 29: Fox U
Gate 31: Vera Vixen
Gate 45: Ferris Homer Swiper Carlson
Gates 2 and 3 were the most crowded, with 3 foxes each. Besides the winner Isaac, 11 other foxes finished.
 
21 foxes qualified for the third race, the Tailmont Stakes, by solving one puzzle. Race results:
Gate 1: Faux-Chi, Fleet Fox
Gate 2: Bob, Cowlitz, Endless Foxtabilities, Nesi, Paul, Ruin Seeker

Gate 4: Isaac, Pifoot
Gate 6: At the Beach

Gate 10: Run Ron Run
Gate 17: Pandora’s Fox
Gate 18: Fennik
Gate 29: Fox U
Gate 32: Vera Vixen
Gate 45: Ferris Homer Swiper Carlson
Thanks to Faux-Chi hanging out in the winner's circle, Fleet Fox's bold gate 1 strategy managed to pay off. In fact, only gate 2 had more than one fox in it, but with 6 foxes fighting over it, it was a real bloodbath. Besides the winner Fleet Fox, 12 other foxes finished.

The three winners, Grayson Holmes, KeoFam, and Yossi Fendel, will soon be contacted about redeeming their prizes. Additionally, a $61 money pool will be split between the Food Bank of West Central Texas, the Food Bank for Larimer County, and the Palm Beach County Food Bank ($20.34 each), and this donation will be matched by three anonymous benefactors. Thanks to you all for participating! The 6th quarterly Triple Crown Fox Derby will be held on April 6, 2025.
