Thoroughbred Profile: Ria Antonia

The Sovereign Award Winner has had a tough 2014 campaign, passing from one trainer to another and swapping out jockeys like they were going out of style. But the 2013 champion 2-year-old filly, now 3, hasn’t let a tough run in the Preakness Stakes or her roaring critics get her down. With a solid second place finish in the Iowa Oaks, Ria Antonia is working closely with trainer Thomas Amoss and is showing signs of making a solid comeback. She was bred by Lynn B. Schiff (KY) and is owned by Loooch Racing Stable Inc.
