Description

PIa Sofia is a very strong mare by the champion sire I am Invincible. As a weanling she developed cysts in both front fetlocks. These cysts required screws to be inserted to create soundness in the filly. To her credit she raced with the screws and won at Gosford and placed at Hawesbury and Wyong with no soundness issues. Pia Sofia is from one of the best families in the stud book. Her dam is half-sister to Gr 1 winners Commanding Jewel and Atlantic Jewel (dam of Gr 1 winner Russian Emperor)also to the dam of Gr 1 winner I am Excited and Gr 3 winner Flippant. Pia Sofia Has a very nice, correct weanling colt by So You Think, giving her a great opportunity with her first foal. She is in foal to the very exciting young Deep Field stallion Cosmic Force, winner of the Pago Pago Stks Gr 3 by 7.3 lengths, as well as theRoman Consul Stks Gr 2, His Yearlings have sold extremely well this year, going to all the top trainers. This is not surprising as he throws stunning types.

Pia Sofia stands about 15.3hh and is very easy to handle. She is quiet in the crush and for the farrier.
