Some of their up and comers include...
Ajs Little Champ Peligrosito Cartel Apollitical J Legacy
$528,428 with five wins and one second in nine starts over two years.
Cyber Monday’s wins include his trial
and the final for the $1,000,000 Ruidoso Futurity-G1, followed by his trial for the Rainbow Futurity-G1 (running fourth in
the $1,000,000 Rainbow Futurity-G1 final behind Whistle Stop Cafe, the then-undefeated AQHA Racing World Champion and earner
of more than $2 million). He also won his All American Futurity trial after stumbling out
of the gate. He finished 2020 ranked 25th by wins and 13th by earnings.
At three, he ran second in his trial for
the Ruidoso Derby-G1, first in his Rainbow Derby-G1 trial, fifth in the Rainbow Invitational Stakes and sixth in his trial to the All American Derby-G1.
Cyber Monday is a full sibling to Powerful Favorite ($1,095,097), Runforyourlife ($620,822) and The Revenant ($192,700).
“Cyber Monday is by a hugely popular stallion and out of a tremendous race mare that was raised here at the Lazy E for Linda Alumbaugh,” Butch Wise says. “We sold her
as a yearling at Blane Schvaneveldt’s sale, and also had the great stallion Azoom here, whose partnership [Azoom LP] owned Remember Me Rose, so it’s all interconnected.
“We had a great appreciation for Remember Me Rose; she was a tremendous race mare whose speed and soundness carried on well, and she raced everywhere,” Butch adds. “Once Steve Burns and Jim Markum acquired her,
she became the perfect race nick for Favorite Cartel. And hasn’t that been a success story!”
“I hear wherever I go that it takes people 15 years being in the racing business to get that kind of horse and here we’ve been in the business three or four years and it’s a true blessing,” Carlos says. “I understand what they’re saying now; it’s an awesome ride that we’re on.
“We’re going to try to breed as much as we can to Cyber Monday and build our foundation around him, and then go to the Ruidoso Select Sale and the Heritage Place Sale and buy a few to see if we can hit a lick like we did with him.”
THEIR CURRENT RUNNERS

• AJs Little Champ (2020 colt by Apollitical Jess and out of First Down Dash daughter Little Surfer, who won the Hialeah Derby and the Lone Star Distaff Challenge Stakes) – “He’s looking good; hopefully as a 2 year old, being an Apollitical Jess colt, he’ll do really well,” Carlos says.
• Code Name Lethal (2020 colt by Tres Seis and out of Lethal Perry by Mr Jess Perry)
– “He worked out at the track at Sunland Park the other day and he’s looking really, really good,” says Carlos.
• Peligrosito Cartel (2020 colt by Krash Cartel and out of the Walk Thru Fire mare Peligrosita, bred by Abelardo F. Gallegos in Mexico).

• Apollitical J Legacy (2019 colt by Apollitical Jess and out of A Delightful Legacy, by First Down Dash) – “He’s a pretty good little horse,” says Carlos. “He qualified for the Ruidoso Futurity last year and did okay. We still have him as a colt
and we’re trying to battle through that with him, but as a 3 year old, I think he’s coming around.” Apollitical J Legacy also ran second in his Rainbow Futurity trial and fourth in the Rainbow Juvenile Stakes, third in his
