Bad Boy 123 SI 96, a Grade 2-performing son of leading sire Flying Cowboy 123, has been retired from racing and will begin his stallion career at Anderson Equine, LLC in Tularosa, New Mexico, for the 2027 breeding season.

Owned by Triple R Racing, the 2-year-old sorrel will stand for a fee of $2,500, plus a $500 booking fee. Bad Boy 123 will be eligible for the New Mexico-bred program.

Bad Boy 123 retires with a record of one win and two seconds from three career starts and earnings of $139,020. His biggest performance came when he finished second in the $655,100 Sam Houston Futurity (G2).

A son of two-time champion Flying Cowboy 123 SI 101, Bad Boy 123 represents one of Quarter Horse racing's most successful young sire lines. Flying Cowboy 123 earned $965,811 during his racing career, highlighted by a victory in the Texas Classic Futurity (G1).

Through four crops of racing age, Flying Cowboy 123 has sired 61 stakes winners, three champions and earners of more than $26.9 million from 573 starters.

His leading runners include two-time champion Cowboys Gun Z SI 101, winner of the All American Futurity (G1) and earner of $1,678,945; two-time champion Lethal Cowboy 123 SI 99, winner of the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity (G1) with earnings of $1,547,872; and champion Flying Joy 1 SI 102, winner of the All American Oaks (G1).

Flying Cowboy 123 is also the sire of 2026 All American Futurity (G1) winner Cowboys Flying SI 111, who has earned $2,062,793, and Grade 2 winner Cardiac Cowboy SI 102, an earner of $491,689.

Bad Boy 123 is out of the outstanding racemare Three Past Six SI 102, a daughter of champion sire Tres Seis. Three Past Six won four of eight career starts and earned $160,040. She won the Sunland Park Winter Derby (G2), finished second in the Hobbs America Derby (G2), and was third in the Ruidoso Futurity (G1). She also qualified for the Rainbow Futurity (G1).

The maternal family adds additional black type. Bad Boy 123's second dam, Coincidentally SI 101, by Victory Dash, was a stakes performer who earned $42,575 and finished third in the Heritage Place Derby (G1). She is also the dam of stakes-placed Not Holding Back SI 96.

The extended family includes Fast Preacher Man SI 101, an earner of $143,391 who finished third in the Louisiana QHBA Futurity (G1), as well as stakes winners Cash Is Easy SI 97 and Dash To A TD SI 89.

The combination gives Bad Boy 123 a pedigree pairing Flying Cowboy 123 with a Grade 2-winning Tres Seis mare who was also Grade 1-placed during her racing career.
