Antonius was originally purchased from a local breeder as a gift to Vanessa Blackmore. She has unfortunately had to leave the Equus Community so we have taken him back. He had had a break from racing but we got him back into shape and restarted his career. At the time of his arrival, he came with a pretty high status on the Steeplechase leaderboard but we hopes to get him back on top. It didn't take long for him to remember what he was supposed to do and you can tell when watching him perform that he enjoys it. In his first race back, he placed first in a Grade III, earning himself a pedigree bonus for his foals. He has continued his success and before we knew it, he was racing at Grade II level. A few races into Grade II and he took his first Grade II win at the Triple Crown #2! Earning additional pedigree bonuses for his foals and bragging rights. The following race he entered was his first Grade I race at the Triple Crown race #3. To our absolute glee, he took first and became a Triple Crown Grade I winner. At the age of six, Antonius was retired from racing to produce the next generation of Steeplechase racers. He is one of the most successful racers we have ever owned here at Quiet Meadows Ranch; winning 10 of the 21 races he participated in. With such a great record, he is sure to produce a lineage that is worthy for the history books! ProgenyQMR Antonius has sired 3 foals.
