Aint He Tempting will be standing his second year at stud; his first foals are yearlings of 2026. Eos A Political Win, a top ten leading second-year sire in 2025, will sire his third crop to race in 2026.

"We've been looking to add to our stallion line up for sometime and we believe that Aint He Tempting and Eos A Political Win will fit right in with what we're building here at Snow Ranch LLC," said owner Shane Snow. "Both horses bring great pedigrees and proven race records and we are excited to offer them as Accredited Texas Bred Stallions!"

"Aint He Tempting offered an opportunity to add another proven son of Tempting Dash as a stallion option for Texas Breeders, Eos A Political Win provides Texas Breeders an opportunity to breed to proven stakes producing son of Apolitical Jess," Snow continued.
