The Liberty Bell Stakes is a series for Pennsylvania sired horses, held at Harrah’s Philadelphia in Chester, Pennsylvania.
The series is focused on two- and three-year-old colts and fillies in both pacing and trotting categories, with eight races total, and purses ranging from $30,000 to $77,000 per division.The event takes place for 3YO Fillies on 10/31 and for 3YO Colts on 11/07.

The Liberty Bell Stakes series keeps the legacy of Liberty Bell Park alive by associating its name with high-stakes harness racing in Pennsylvania. The track was a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s racing scene from 1963 to 1985, hosting top-tier harness racing before succumbing to financial and competitive pressures. Its legacy persists through the Liberty Bell Stakes, which continues today at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
Your horses LOCHLAN HANOVER & SOAP OPERA have been nominated to run in the Libery Bell Stakes Series.

We are very pleased to announce that BEANTOWN BABE, your 5-year-old mare, has been nominated to compete at Yonkers Raceway on Tuesday, April 22nd.
Time - 8.45PM Day - Tuesday Date - 04/22/2025 Class - FM50000CLM Track - Yonkers Raceway
BEANTOWN returns to the track after being given a week away from the track last week and we're very happy with her condition.
BABE has been drawn in PP#4 with Matt Kakaley booked for the ride. We think BEANTOWN has an excellent chance as AMBUSHED, RACEY RACH & STAY HAPPY - 3 of this week's top 4 - are missing next week's FM50000CLM.
ITS ALL SYSTEMS GO!!!!
Should there be any updates or changes, we will promptly inform you.

The series features races for two and three year-old trotters and pacers, for geldings, colts and fillies, with purses varying by division.
In the 2024 series, a standout performance from Sir Pinocchio trotting a 1:51.4 was the highlight for the meeting which trainer Ake Svanstedt dominated, winning multiple divisions, including three of four for three-year-old trotters.

Beantown Babe has returned to the yard in lovely condition and has pulled up well after her run on Tuesday.
Babe was unable to draw a post position this week for the FM50000CLM. With interest surrounding her before she took second place in this week's race, we will remain patient and run the following week to protect her.
Follow us for more updates and stay tuned for our future races!
💥Two hooves. One mission. Race to victory. Speed to dominate.

BEANTOWN BABE made a triumphant return to Yonkers after a minor injury, running in FM50000CLM. From Post 5, she settled midfield before surging in the back straight. Despite STAY HAPPY slowing her charge, she powered three-wide into the final stretch, passing STAY HAPPY and RACEY RACH with ease. She closed hard on AMBUSHED but finished second by one length. A spectacular performance—she's back in form! We can’t wait for next week’s race.
This year's Breeders Crown will take place at Woodbine Mohawk Park on the 10th of October. One of the 12 championship races in the Breeders Crown series since its inauguration by the Hambletonian Society in 1984.
The climactic point of the year often crowing the best in each division.
Eliminations, should they be needed, take place the week prior to the main event with the Woodbine track able to accommodate 10 starters in the final.
The purse is a tasty $600,000 for Lochlan Hanover's division, with Nymeria's options being between Open $600,000 or Mare's $400,000.
We look forward to seeing both horses do battle on a track that's known for its speed and fast times.
Both Lochlan Hanover & Nymeria have been nominated for The Breeders Crown.
Following her last race, Matt observed that Nymeria didn’t quite display her usual competitive spark. She lacked the drive we’ve come to expect, particularly in the final stretch.
Post-race diagnostics conducted by Travis and the team revealed that she had experienced internal bleeding during the race. A veterinary assessment confirmed her lung capacity had dropped to just 25% at peak exertion. Despite the setback, our queen gave it her all, which speaks volumes about her heart and determination.
The good news: her lungs have since been cleared, and the team is evaluating whether she’ll benefit from being placed on Lasix going forward. She's already on the mend, with an estimated recovery window of two weeks. Given her condition, we've made the decision to skip the John Brennan series at Yonkers - there’s no reason to push her against the boys at less than full strength.
Nymeria is under close monitoring to prevent any recurrence, and we're confident she’ll be back at 100% for her next start in 2–3 weeks. Credit to the team for trusting their instincts - she truly gave everything she had out there.
Our 3YO gelding has been nominated to race at Pocono Downs on Saturday.
📅Date - Saturday, 5th April 🕐Time - 4.54PM 🏟Track - Pocono Downs Class - Bobby Weiss Series
Lochlan has been given an ideal post position of #3. He's been pleasing, coming on since his qualifier last week. We expect to see Lochlan's Big Red Zoooming Bye career getting off to an encouraging start.
We will be in touch before the race with an update.
Beantown Babe has been selected as the first emergency for an upcoming $50,000 Claiming Race scheduled for Tuesday. We're confident your mare will be fully fit by the time of Tuesday's race. However, we’re also fine with Babe taking an extra week off to ensure her wound heals properly.
Travis has commented that since returning to the stable, Beantown Babe has been acting normal as if nothing is amiss. Showing her usual toughness & professionalism .
