Lethal Cowboy 123 was named the 2024 Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Racing Association Horse of the Year and champion 2-year-old gelding after going undefeated in his four starts at Los Alamitos last year.

His perfect record during his juvenile campaign included those two Grade 1 futurity victories. He was also named the AQHA champion 2-year-old and champion 2-year-old gelding thanks to his great season.

The son of Flying Cowboy 123 has made three starts in New Mexico this year, racing in the trials to the Ruidoso Derby, Rainbow Derby, and All American Derby. He qualified to the Grade 1 Rainbow Derby, but the final was not held after the Ruidoso racing season was canceled in July due to severe flooding around mountain resort area.
