Leading Sire Apollitical Jess Arrives at Bob Moore Farms

NORMAN, OK—SEPTEMBER 28, 2021—Four-time leading general sire and former world champion Apollitical Jess arrived safely at Bob Moore Farms this afternoon. The 14-year-old son of former leading sire Mr Jess Perry will stand the 2022 season at the Norman, Oklahoma facility.

"We feel very blessed and fortunate to now be associated with Juan Tirado, and the whole staff at Bob Moore Farms is just ecstatic. Apollitical Jess will absolutely add more depth to our already stellar roster of stallions, and we are thoroughly looking forward towards the breeding season of 2022."
