About
Antiquarian is a 5yo colt from the United States trained by Todd A. Pletcher. He is sired by the stallion Preservationist out of the dam Lifetime Memory. Antiquarian has won 5 races in his career so far. On 1 Sep 2025 at Saratoga, he captured his most significant victory to date, taking the $1,000,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; a career‑long backing would have yielded a 49% return on investment.
