Liberty Rings Comes on Late to Upset Scandalous Act

BY BROCK SHERIDAN


Liberty Rings came three wide off the turn then overtook a front-running Mon Coquette at the sixteenth pole to win going away in the $100,000 Scandalous Act at Gulfstream Park Saturday. Trained by Nicholas Palmer for Teresa and David Palmer of Jupiter, Florida, Liberty Rings won at odds of 8-1 in a field of six 2-year-old Florida-bred fillies going six furlongs. Liberty Rings also earned a $25,000 Florida Sire Racing Incentive bonus from the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association.
