Powerplay Farms

At Powerplay Racing Farm LLC, located in Medina, Ohio, we bring a passion for Standardbred horse breeding, harness racing, and equine care to life. Owned by Thomas and Cheryl Houck, our farm is more than a business—it’s the realization of a lifelong dream.

Cheryl comes from a long line of horsemen known as “The Matneys,” with her father, Hobert, passing down generations of knowledge and dedication to Standardbred care. Thomas, a former president of an industrial supply company in Parkersburg, WV, discovered his love for horse racing as he looked toward retirement. Together, they combined family traditions and a shared passion for horses to establish Powerplay Racing 87 LLC in 2019.
