Known as a sprint specialist, at age two Set Them Free won the Pasadena Stakes at Santa Anita Park and the Debutante Breeders' Cup Stakes at Bay Meadows Racetrack. She placed 11th in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Set Them Free was best known for her success as a broodmare. She was the dam of two Kentucky Derby entrants: 2005 winner Giacomo, by Holy Bull, and Tiago, by Pleasant Tap.
