Precious Bunny excelled as a racehorse and has proved to be just a phenomenal in the breeding shed. As a result of his wins, he was voted Harness Horse of the Year in 1991, a year in which he won the North America Cup, the Meadowlands Pace, the Art Rooney Memorial Pace, the Adios Stakes, and the Little Brown Jug.

Trained by Bill Robinson and driven by Jack Moiseyev, his fastest time for the mile was 1:49.4 in the final heat of the Meadowlands Pace.

After his 3-year-old season Precious Bunny retired to stud at Hickory Lane Horse Farm in Findlay, Ohio, and was later exported to Australia & New Zealand.

He is the sire of Bunny Lake (harness horse of the year in 2001), Precious Delight, Stout, Bunny's Express Lane, and PB Bullville, who set a record for three-year old pacers of 1:48 for the mile. Most of his offspring are known to be large in stature.

To date (Sept. 2010) Precious Bunny has sired 720 starters, 458 who have paced in 2:00, and 179 who have been clocked in 1:55, with total foal earnings of $49,329,068.
