PAOLI, OK–OCTOBER 7, 2025–The industry’s leading living sire, Apollitical Jess, has officially surpassed the $80 million mark in progeny earnings. The 2010 AQHA Racing World Champion, owned by Rancho El Cabresto, Inc., continues to dominate both on the racetrack and in the sales ring.

From 12 crops to race, Apollitical Jess has sired 823 winners, 283 black-type performers (24%), and 13 champions, with average earnings of more than $66,800 per starter through October 6, 2025.

Apollitical Jess has topped the charts as Leading Sire in seven of the past nine years. He currently ranks #1 in 2025 with over $6 million in earnings, 101 winners, and 10 stakes winners, averaging nearly $23,000 per starter.

Apollitical Jess continues to dominate in the sales ring every year. His 2025 yearlings have generated more than $12.4 million, making him the #1 Sire of Sale Yearlings this year.

He is the sire of three All American Futurity (G1) winners — Kj Desparado, Apocalyptical Jess, and Mr Jess Jenkins — as well as three All American Derby (G1) winners — Apollitical Blood, Hold Air Hostage, and A Pollitical Candy.

Apollitical Jess has sired 11 millionaire earners, including Kj Desparado SI 118 ($3,367,447), Empressum SI 111 ($2,475,748), Apocalyptical Jess SI 103 ($2,251,556), Apollitical Pence SI 125 ($1,867,319), Mr Jess Jenkins SI 104 ($1,631,033), Apollitical Blood SI 99 ($1,519,800), Hold Air Hostage SI 108 ($1,415,551), Party Politics SI 94 ($1,113,056), Political Twist SI 101 ($1,059,017), Apollitical Gold SI 96 ($1,014,601), and Political Attraction SI 104 ($972,289).
