About
Liguria is a 3yo bay filly trained by Lance Noble. Her sire is Snitzel and her dam is Vernazza. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $196,881, she is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 31 Jan 2026 at Ellerslie, jockey Warren Kennedy guided her to her biggest victory, winning the $120,000 2yo Open Set Weight and beating Harvey Wallbanger. She has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 106% ROI.
