Multiple Grade 1 Winner Rockin With Energy Retired

Parsons Family Limited Partnership’s homebred Rockin With Energy, a two-time winner of the Grade 1 James Dreyer Charger Bar Handicap, has been retired, trainer Paul Jones said via text earlier this week.

The 5-year-old mare by Parsons Rock out of Grade 1 winner Terrific Energy completes her outstanding career with eight wins from 22 starts and earnings of $359,635. Foaled on Valentine’s Day (February 14, 2021), Rockin With Energy was all heart and speed at Los Alamitos. In addition to her Charger Bar victories, Rockin With Energy won the 2025 Grade 2 Las Damas Handicap, as well as the Justanold Love Handicap and California Breeders Debutante in 2024. She also finished second in the 2023 Grade 1 Ed Burke Million Futurity.

All told, the multiple stakes winner competed in either a stakes race or a stakes trial in 19 of her 21 career starts. Her only two non-stakes events were runner-up efforts in a maiden race during her racing debut on April 23, 2023, and a second-place finish in an allowance during her final career start on October 10, 2026.

When Rockin With Energy won her second consecutive Charger Bar earlier this year, she joined Stylish Jess BR, Quirky, and Kiss Thru Fire as the only mares to successfully defend their title in the 25-year history of the race. Jones, who recently tied Blane Schvaneveldt’s track record with his 3,982nd Quarter Horse win at Los Alamitos, saddled Rockin With Energy in each of her 21 career starts.

“Rockin With Energy is a great mare,” Jones said. “She has a 2-year-old filly coming next year.”
