Sire to Indiana’s 2012 Horse of the Year and Two Year Old of the Year, Mack the Slew
Pass Rush’s outstanding family and race career are all indicators of a truly great stallion. His sire, Crown Ambassador, was named Indiana’s Sire Of The Year, for 5 consecutive years and remains on top of the Indiana general sire list, even after his death in 2009. His dam, Profitable Knight, was a stakes winner, herself, as well as being named Indiana’s Broodmare Of The Year in 2003. Even more impressive than his family, was his six year racing campaign.
Pass Rush broke his maiden in only his second career start, then went on to place in the Gilded Stakes at Arlington Park. At three he placed in both the Iowa Derby and Round Table Stakes, then went on to place in the BC NTRA Invitational, while also being crowned Indiana‘s Champion 3 y/o and 2002 Indiana Horse Of The Year. In 2003, he won the Grade II San Fernando BC Stakes, while also capturing the 2003 Indiana Champion Older Male, as well as Indiana Horse Of The Year, which he also won again in 2005, bringing his career earnings to an impressive $594,603.
Pass Rush entered stud in 2007 at Swifty Farms, with his first crop being three year olds in 2011. To date, his progeny have earned $651,900 and he has already produced numerous stakes winners to date:
