Meet Percy's Bar: The Fast-Rising Filly

Percy's Bar is a bay filly born on March 1, 2023, in Kentucky. Her trainer is Ben Colebrook, and she races for Hat Creek Racing. This three-year-old has already earned over $1 million—an impressive achievement for such a young horse.

Her Family Tree

Percy's Bar's father is Upstart, a stallion who won $1.7 million during his racing career and competed at distances up to 1 1/4 miles. Her mother, Honestly Deb, comes from a family that includes Silver Charm, a champion racehorse who won the Kentucky Derby. This gives Percy's Bar excellent classic distance bloodlines.

Her Racing Record

Percy's Bar has raced six times and won three races:
Her first win came April 23, 2025, at Keeneland in a maiden race (4.5 furlongs)
Her second win came June 29, 2025, at Churchill Downs (6 furlongs)
Her third win came October 3, 2025, at Keeneland (1 1/16 miles)
Her most recent win was April 3, 2026, at Keeneland (1 1/16 miles)

She has also finished second and third in stakes races, showing she can compete against tough competition.

What Matters: Why to Root for Percy's Bar

Percy's Bar represents steady improvement and consistent excellence. At just three years old, she's already proven she can win at classic distances like 1 1/16 miles and 1 1/8 miles. Her $1 million in earnings shows she competes at the highest levels. The same jockey, Luan Machado, rides her in every race, showing her trainer trusts their partnership.

Caution: Potential Vulnerabilities

Percy's Bar has only raced six times, which is limited experience for top-level competition. She's also only raced on fast dirt—no experience on other surfaces. Her two most recent races outside her April 3 win showed third-place finishes, indicating she's still developing. She'll need to prove she can consistently beat the very best.
