BREAUX BRIDGE, LA—NOVEMBER 23, 2021—Robicheaux Ranch, Inc.'s 2022 stallion roster will be led by 2021 Leading Third-Crop Sire and #3 General Leading Sire of Money Earners Apollitical Blood, whose fee will go to $10,000 the Louisiana operation announced today.

The champion son of leading sire Apollitical Jess has sired 132 winners (73%), 42 black type (23%), earners of over $8 million with average earnings per starter in of more than $45,500 from three crops to race. In 2021 he had 22 yearlings average $22,822 at auction .

"Watching what Apollitical Blood has accomplished with only three crops to go to the track, is impressive," Farm Manager Ryan Robicheaux said. "Ranked among the best sires in the country, who have had many more crops to race, Apollitical Blood has sired multiple Graded Stakes winners and the earners of over $8 million, with a fraction of the starters. Comparing the numbers, it’s just incredible."

"With a large number of two-year-old’s for Five Bar Cartel next season, this should be a exciting year for him," Robicheaux said. "This will be the crop we bred after he was named leading freshman sire of the country. His bounce back program offers his breeders a great return on investment."

AQHA Racing Champion Aged Stallion Tarzanito will remain $3,500 for 2022. His first crop hit the ground this year (2021).

"Tarzanito first crop are as impressive now as short-yearlings as they were when they were born. We are excited for his future," Robicheaux says.

Grade 1 All American Derby winner Gold Heart Eagle V's fee will remain $4,500. The son of leading sire One Famous Eagle earned $530,883 while winning or placing in six of seven career starts.

AQHA Racing Champion Open Me A Corona will also remain $3,500 for 2022.
