Now We've Got Three! 🏇✨
Liberty House Racing has runners going three straight days across two of the sport's biggest stages - the Spa on Friday and Sunday, and Claiming Crown Showcase Day at Colonial on Saturday.
Friday, August 21 – Saratoga
🏇 Power of Women
⏰ Race 9 | 5:44 p.m.
🏇 Jockey: Flavien Prat
👤 Trainer: Horacio De Paz
Power of Women has already run well at the Spa this summer - she went off as the 5/2 favorite in a July start here - and now she's back for more with Flavien Prat taking over the reins. This is a horse trending in the right direction.
Saturday, August 22 – Colonial Downs
🏇 What Say Thee
⏰ Race 11 | 5:37 p.m.
🏇 Jockey: Johan Rosado
👤 Trainer: Horacio De Paz
What Say Thee gets his shot at something big this weekend - a strong run in the Emerald Qualifier could send him straight to the Claiming Crown Championship at Churchill Downs this November. One race, another opportunity to show what he’s capable of.
Sunday, August 23 – Saratoga
🏇 Twisted Filigree
⏰ Race 5 | 3:35 p.m.
🏇 Jockey: Manuel Franco
👤 Trainer: Horacio De Paz
Twisted Filigree steps into the gate for the first time in Liberty House colors, just weeks after joining the barn in a July claim. A fresh start on one of the biggest stages in racing - we can't wait to see what he does with it.
Three horses, three days, one trainer, one incredible weekend. Tune in and cheer them on! 💫🍀

Big weekend ahead for Liberty House Racing! 🏇✨
Power of Women and What Say Thee are both headed into big opportunities this weekend, and we’re excited to see them take the spotlight.
Power of Women steps up to stakes company Friday at Saratoga in the $200,000 Fleet Indian after an impressive win at the Spa last time out. She’s already getting some well-deserved attention ahead of the race. 👀
What Say Thee heads to Colonial Downs Saturday for the Claiming Crown Emerald Qualifier, bringing stakes experience and strong recent form into a competitive field.
With both horses making headlines heading into the weekend, we’re excited for what’s ahead. 🍀
Stay tuned tomorrow for race details!

Look who’s back. 👀🏇
Liberty House Racing is excited to welcome Read On back to the barn!
We originally claimed Read On for $25,000 in March, and under , he really found his stride. Lacey Gaudet and her team figured out what worked for him, and together we enjoyed a successful run before he was claimed away from us in June for $40,000.
But we never stopped following him.
When we saw Read On entered back in a claiming race this weekend, we decided to take another shot - and this time, we got him back.
That’s part of the strategy and excitement of the claiming game: knowing your horses, keeping an eye out for the right opportunity and being willing to go back in when you believe there’s more to come.
We already know Read On fits well in Lacey’s program, and we’re excited to have him home and see what Chapter Two brings. 💙💛
Welcome back, Read On!
