One of 2025’s standout runners, Jeriko, was humanely euthanized due to an infection that caused some complications. The six year old had just come off a second-place finish in the 2025 Champion Of Champions-G1 at Los Alamitos in December, finishing just a nose behind the 2025 World Champion FDD Dreams. The brown gelding, by two-time World Champion sire One Famous Eagle, had 11 firsts, 4 seconds, and 2 thirds from 23 starts earning $1,148,672 over his four years on the track. His graded stakes appearances include wins in the 2023 Los Alamitos Super Derby-G1, 2024 Robert L. Boniface Los Alamitos Invitational Championship-G1, second in the 2022 Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity-G1, 2024 Vessels Maturity-G1, and the 2025 Champion Of Champions-G1. A homebred for Bobby Cox, Jeriko is out of the Shazoom mare, Signs Zoomer, who is also owned by Cox. Jeriko earned the title of AQHA Supreme Racehorse at this year’s AQHA Champions Awards Ceremony where Cox Ranch’s farm manager Bill Melson received that award for such an outstanding racing career.

Multiple graded stakes winning and champion sire, Jess Zoomin, has passed away at the age of 20 on January 26. Mark and Teresa Myers along with Roger Cyrulik put out a statement saying, “Our hearts are broken and we are still processing the loss, BUT with breeding season knocking on our door, we felt the need to let everyone know that we lost our main man, Jess Zoomin to a freak stall accident. His racing stats speak for themselves, both as a runner and producer, but what we will miss most is his silly personality! From hugging his people (iykyk) to demanding you tug on his tongue (again, iykyk) he had a presence that said, ‘I know my job, but I’m really just a big kid!’” The brown stallion by Shazoom and out of the Mr Jess Perry mare Jess An Illusion had 10 starts, 4 wins, 3 seconds, and 2 thirds earning $461,126 and placing in multiple Grade 1 races. His top performers include Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Jes An Angel SI 99 ($506,198) and Champion Distance Horse Zoomin Racer SI 105 ($211,883). His runners have earned nearly $5.5 million on the track. “We’ve lost a few over the years, they take a piece of your heart when they go, this guy took a chunk! Special thanks for the extraordinary care by the staff at West Central Veterinary Services who are as devastated as we are, Dr. Ted, Chase, Amanda and all of the others that had a connection. Hannah, I still say that you were his special girl!! For us we cry, for Jess we feel joy, his body can now do the things his mind said he could still do! Forever grateful for the ride you took us on, it was fun tagging along! Now it’s your time… Run your race, big guy! We’ll see you again someday!” the Myers and Cyrulik continued in their statement.
