Apollitical King, Son of Apollitical Jess and Three-Time Champion Flash And Roll, Retires to Stud at CSJ Ranch for 2027

Apollitical King SI 90, a son of leading sire and emerging sire of sires Apollitical Jess out of three-time AQHA Racing Champion Flash And Roll, has retired from racing and will begin his stallion career in 2027 at CSJ Ranch in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His introductory breeding fee has been set at $2,000.

The 2022 brown stallion brings together two of Quarter Horse racing's most accomplished bloodlines, combining the influence of his world champion sire with a female family featuring two generations of AQHA Racing Champions and multiple Grade 1 winners.

Apollitical King retires with a record of two wins, two seconds, and two thirds from 23 starts, earning $42,807. During his racing career, he qualified for the finals of the Black Gold Colts and Geldings Futurity, Altoona Derby, Will Rogers Juvenile Challenge Stakes, and Prairie Meadows Derby Challenge Stakes.

A $165,000 graduate of the 2023 Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale, Apollitical King was purchased by Tom Maher from the consignment of Julianna Hawn Holt.

A Son of Leading Sire Apollitical Jess

Apollitical King is a son of Apollitical Jess SI 107, the world champion and one of the most influential sires in modern Quarter Horse racing. A winner of $1,399,831, Apollitical Jess captured the Los Alamitos Super Derby(G1), establishing a 400-yard track record of :19.133.

Through 13 crops of racing age, Apollitical Jess has sired 914 winners, including 180 stakes winners and 14 champions, with progeny earnings exceeding $90.5 million. His leading performers include two-time champion KJ Desparado SI 118 ($3,617,850), winner of the All American Futurity(G1); world champion Empressum SI 111 ($2,701,248), winner of the Champion of Champions(G1); and three-time champion Apocalyptical Jess SI 103 ($2,251,556), winner of the All American Futurity(G1).

Beyond his remarkable record as a sire of racehorses, Apollitical Jess has established himself as a leading sire of sires, with his sons extending his influence into the next generation of Quarter Horse breeding.

Out of Three-Time Champion Flash And Roll

Apollitical King's maternal pedigree is equally impressive. His dam, Flash And Roll SI 99, by First Moonflash, was one of the most accomplished fillies of her generation, earning three AQHA Racing Championship titles and $1,710,718 during a brilliant racing career.

Flash And Roll was named AQHA Racing Champion Two-Year-Old, Champion Two-Year-Old Filly, and Champion Three-Year-Old Filly. She won 10 of 14 career starts, including three of the sport's most prestigious Grade 1 events—the $2 million Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity(G1), Golden State Million Futurity(G1), and Los Alamitos Super Derby(G1).

She also earned the prestigious AQHA Supreme Race Horse designation, further distinguishing her among the sport's elite performers.

As a broodmare, Flash And Roll has continued her family's winning tradition. All three of her starters are winners, including Swing Time SI 94, a daughter of Favorite Cartel who earned $58,662 and finished second in the Firecracker Futurity(G2).

Her other winners include Apollitical King and Lightning Flash, a daughter of Apollitical Jess who won her debut season in 2026, earning $11,000 from two starts.

Second Dam Is Champion Stylish Jess BR

Apollitical King's second dam, Stylish Jess BR SI 102, by Feature Mr Jess, adds another championship generation to his pedigree.

The AQHA Racing Champion Aged Mare earned $804,298 while winning 11 races and establishing herself as one of the leading distaff runners of her era.

Her Grade 1 victories included the Mildred N. Vessels Memorial Handicap, AQHA Distaff Challenge Championship, and two editions of the Charger Bar Handicap. She also captured the California Distaff Challenge (G3) and the Los Alamitos Distaff Challenge (G3).

Stylish Jess BR was awarded both AQHA Supreme Race Horse and Superior Race Horse honors.

As a broodmare, she has produced six winners from nine starters, led by Flash And Roll. Her other offspring include Red Jet SI 89 ($28,098), third in the Lone Star Park Distance Challenge(G3), and Jess Secrets BR SI 104 ($24,498), third in the AQRA President's Spring Derby.

The family's influence continues through Stylish Jess BR's daughters.

Stylish Flash SI 95, a daughter of First Moonflash, produced TS Cyber Flash SI 93, a three-time winner in five starts who captured the 2026 Hawkeye Futurity(R) and earned $68,902.

Another daughter, La Bella Princessa SI 84, by Valiant Hero, produced Prizefighter V SI 97, a son of Apollitical Jess who has earned $80,688 through 2026.

With his first two dams accounting for four AQHA Racing Championship titles, Apollitical King represents a maternal family distinguished by championship performance, Grade 1 success, and continued success in subsequent generations.
