Ron Paolucci

Ron Paolucci is an avid horseplayer from the Cleveland Ohio area who went from playing the horses to owning a Breeders' Cup winner. After watching her first two starts he purchased Ria Antonia privately. With only a maiden win under her belt, trainer Jeremiah Englehart put blinkers on her and new jockey Javier Castellano for the $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Sent away at 32-1 she made a late run and was bumped by She's A Tiger nearing the wire and was placed first via disqualification. Currently in the investment business Paolucci will share his stories of his early days at the races, his love of the racing game and how he ended up with Ria Antonia
