The Walnut Green brigade is starting to crank up the heat as spring approaches. Rush Now (08 by Tiznow out of Dirty Rush by Wild Rush) came back in fine form since his last in September. He dug in gamely in an allowance race at Aqueduct on March 3 and finished an impressive second, edged out for the win by only 1/2 a length.

Walnut Green Dominates In The 2011 Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Year-End Statistics:
The 2011 Pennsylvania Breeders Awards statistics have been announced and Walnut Green clearly dominated the important categories. Our Plum Pretty finished the year with earnings of $1.33 million, to make her Pennsylvania’s top earner by over $500k. Bred and raised by DDS Stables and Silent Indy Stables at Walnut Green, she also earned the largest single breeders award given by the state when the breeders were awarded over $87k for her scintillating victory in the 2011 G2 Cotillion. The top horse based on breeders awards earned for 2011 was our own Ann’s Smart Dancer. She was the leading horse by fund-money earnings, totaling $211,166.00. Just another filly we are proud to say was born and raised here at Walnut Green for the Harris family (Russell, Craig and Jeff). Congratulations to all and we look forward to what 2012 has in store. ...
