Winning Ponies

Ron Paolucci, who grew up going to the races since the time he could walk, started in the business with a $3,000 claiming trotter at Northfield Park near Cleveland. His Ria Antonia earned more than $1.5 million while winning the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and sold in 2014 for $1.8 million. 2 of his Looch Stables' charges Conquest Enforcer and War Story won graded stakes and his latest acquisition, Imperative, captured the $400,000 Poseidon Handicap. Ron will discuss his methods of finding promising prospects. Eric Wing is Communications Director for HorseTourneys.com. A 17-year industry veteran, Eric has previously worked at the NTRA, the NYRA and the DRF.

Davis S. (G3) at Tampa, the $200,000 Arcadia S. (G2) at Santa Anita and the $125,000 Martha Washington S. from Oaklawn.
