Just 22 years old, Andie Biancone is living her dream in Thoroughbred racing.
Not only is she the assistant trainer for the successful stable of her father, Patrick Biancone, but she's co-owner of the graded-stakes winner and possible Belmont Stakes (G1) or Blue Grass (G2) starter Sole Volante.
Sole Volante, by Karakontie, was purchased by Patrick Biancone for $20,000 at the OBS April Sale in 2019 as a birthday present for his daughter.
After winning both of his starts last year on turf, Sole Volante finished third in the Mucho Macho Man Stakes in his dirt debut at Gulfstream on Jan. 4, then won the Grade 2 Sam F. Davis Stakes on Feb. 8 at Tampa Bay Downs. He then finished second to King Guillermo in the G2 Tampa Bay Derby on March 7 before returning to win an allowance race at Gulfstream last Wednesday, June 10.
Andie Biancone now races Sole Volante in partnership with Reeves Thoroughbred Racing.
Gulfstream host and analyst Jason Blewitt spoke to Andie Biancone for the latest edition of “Blew's Clues” about working and helping her dad, long trips in horse vans accompanying the stable's stars, and getting gifted Sole Volante by her father on her birthday.
