Cyber Attack’s winning connections include owner Connie Rosenthal of Rosenthal Ranch LLC, trainer Christopher O’Dell and jockey Eduardo Nicasio.
stated Connie Rosenthal. “I’m always a little apprehensive. When he got away clear and no one was around him, I felt he had a good chance. As he kept moving, I kept getting more excited.”
Cyber Attack concluded his juvenile season a year ago with a victory in the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity-G1 and he also finished second in both the Rainbow Futurity-G1 at Ruidoso Downs and the Golden State Million Futurity-G1 at
Los Alamitos.
Bred in California by Steve D. Burns DVM, Cyber Attack was purchased by Rosenthal Ranch for $400,000 at the 2021 Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale.
Cyber Attack is produced from the “Blue Hen” Corona Cartel mare and Ruidoso Derby-G1 winner Remember Me Rose,
who is the dam of 13 stakes winners and was Broodmare of the Year two years ago. Cyber Attack is a full sibling to Grade 1 winners Bomb Cyclone, Powerful Effort, Runforyourlife, and Cyber Monday.
“Because I wasn’t at the sale to see him in the flesh, I was relying on his bloodlines and what his brothers had accomplished, and that was my main motivation,” Rosenthal shared. “I’m so excited for him. It seems like
each additional brother just keeps surpassing records, so that is exciting.”
As for what’s next for Cyber Attack, Rosenthal said, “I’m just looking forward to keeping him healthy, and eventually, letting him be a father to many more Champions.”
