Dan Ryan’s Quantum Miss, bred raised and broken right here at Walnut Green, captured May 27th’s Wonders Delight Stakes at Penn National by an astounding twelve lengths. She stomped the timer in 1:08.63, which is a new track record at Penn National Racecourse. Finishing second was another Walnut Green Miss, the Harris Family’s Ann’s Smart Dancer. She, like Quantum Miss, was born bred raised and broken at Walnut Green, came in second in her third lifetime start and stakes debut.

Indian Legend was purchased by Walnut Green for the Farrar’s at the 2009 Calder Select two year old in training sale for a mere $15,000. Her earnings stand in excess of $280,000. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/63297/indian-legend-nips-tar-heel-mom-in-my-juliet ...
Ann’s Smart Dancer Remains Unbeaten in Gamely Taking Parx Allowance Test
In her first start against open company, and only her second career start, Ann’s Smart Dancer stalked the early pace, and gradually drew clear to a 3/4 length victory in the exellence time if 1:10.00 flat for six furlongs. Ann’s Smart Dancer was foaled, raised and broken here at Wlanut Green. Once again, we would like to congratulate the Harris Family, who owns and bred this filly, and trainer Butch Reid for another job well done. Ann’s Smart Dancer’s win was the third victory for Walnut Green homebreds in less than 24 hours. Knight Train won her second race in as many starts and Great Investment won his debut for Andrew Simoff in the following race at Penn National. Congratulations to all involved. ...

Also, Vegas Joe, owner by Walnut Green clients Cash Is King Stables, broke his maiden in handy fashion when stretched out in distance for his third start.

Congratulations to one and all. ...
