Robicheaux Ranch is pleased to announce that multiple graded stakes winner AJ Remember Me SI 105, who has earned $634,784, will begin his stallion career at the ranch in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, for the 2027 breeding season.

A son of leading sire Apollitical Jess, the 2023 sorrel colt is out of Remember Robyn by Tres Seis. He has compiled an impressive record of seven wins, two seconds, and two thirds from 11 starts.

AJ Remember Me’s accomplishments include victories in the Oklahoma Derby (G3) and Bluegrass Derby, along with a runner-up finish in the $2 million Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity (G1) and a third-place finish in the Ruidoso Futurity (G1).

His racing career demonstrated both versatility and consistency, with graded stakes success and notable performances spanning major racing jurisdictions from Kentucky to Oklahoma, New Mexico and California. Owned by Corinna Sosa, AJ Remember Me will stand as an Accredited Louisiana stallion, with his introductory breeding fee to be announced.

"We are incredibly excited for the opportunity to launch AJ Remember Me's stallion career here at Robicheaux Ranch," said Ryan Robicheaux, Ranch Manager. "When you look at what this horse accomplished on the racetrack, it's remarkable. More than $634,000 in earnings, seven victories, and a perfect record of finishing in the money in all 11 career starts. He proved himself against elite competition from coast to coast, and that kind of consistency speaks volumes about his ability, determination, and class."

A Proven Sire Line

AJ Remember Me is a son of Apollitical Jess SI 107, the AQHA Racing World Champion and one of the most influential Quarter Horse sires of the modern era.

The son of Mr Jess Perry earned $1,399,831 during his racing career, highlighted by a victory in the Los Alamitos Super Derby (G1), where he established a 400-yard track record of :19.133.

Apollitical Jess, the #1 All-Time Leading Living Sire, has sired 180 stakes winners, 14 champions, and progeny earnings exceeding $90 million from 13 crops of racing age.

His leading performers include two-time champion KJ Desparado SI 118, the $3,617,850 earner and All American Futurity (G1) winner; World Champion Empressum SI 111, with earnings of $2,701,248; and three-time champion Apocalyptical Jess SI 103, winner of the All American Futurity (G1) and $2,251,556.

Deep Female Family Adds to Stallion Appeal

AJ Remember Me's maternal pedigree provides another important dimension to his appeal as a stallion prospect. His dam, Remember Robyn, is a daughter of leading sire Tres Seis and has produced six winners from nine starters, including AJ Remember Me.

Her other notable performers include Moneys Right SI 99, a five-time winner of $130,172 and winner of the Treme Derby (R), as well as Superfli SI 97, runner-up in the All American Juvenile Stakes.

Remember Robyn is also the dam of Unleash SI 92, a two-time winner of $39,763, and Ab Ms Robyn SI 98, a two-time winner who qualified for the West Texas Futurity (G2).

AJ Remember Me's second dam, Lotta Love For Robyn SI 97, is a daughter of leading broodmare sire First Down Dash, who earned $238,696 on the racetrack and was recognized as an AQHA Dam of Distinction.

Her outstanding produce record includes two nearly million-dollar earners.

Lotta Blues Man SI 94, a son of Favorite Cartel, earned $935,399 while winning the Golden State Million Futurity (G1) and finishing second in the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity (G1).

Tres Friends SI 97, a full brother to Remember Robyn, earned $932,674 while capturing both the Texas Classic Futurity (G1) and Rainbow Futurity (G1).

The family has continued to produce successful stakes performers across multiple generations, including Relentless American SI 104, a $349,063 earner, and Famous N Relentless SI 98, a $234,104 earner.

Robicheaux emphasized the importance of AJ Remember Me's pedigree and the ranch's longstanding connection to his maternal family.

"Pedigree-wise, he's exactly the kind of horse we're excited to stand. The cross of Apollitical Jess on a Tres Seis mare is exceptional, and his dam, Remember Robyn, was owned by Robicheaux Ranch. AJ Remember Me is the result of a foal-share arrangement with Rancho El Cabresto, and we are especially grateful to the Tirado family for that partnership."

A Full-Circle Moment for Robicheaux Ranch

Beyond the colt's racing accomplishments and pedigree, his arrival at Robicheaux Ranch carries special personal significance for Ryan Robicheaux, who remembers being impressed by the horse long before his racing career began.

"I still remember seeing him at the Heritage Place sale," Robicheaux recalled. "I can tell you exactly where he was stalled when he arrived — outside in the tent barn, on the last row in the corner stall. He impressed me so much that I actually had him X-rayed for a customer who was interested in purchasing him. Ultimately, the horse sold for more than my customer's budget, but I never forgot him. Now, years later, we have the opportunity to stand him at Robicheaux Ranch. It's funny how things work out, and this one is especially rewarding."

For Robicheaux Ranch, AJ Remember Me represents an opportunity to bring a successful young racehorse from a familiar and accomplished female family into its stallion roster.

With his combination of Grade 1 futurity performances, an undefeated 3-year-old campaign, a speed index of 105, and a pedigree combining Apollitical Jess, Tres Seis, and First Down Dash, AJ Remember Me offers breeders a new stallion prospect for the 2027 season.
