Coronado Cartel is proving himself as a sire of big-time performance horses. The son of the legendary Corona Cartel earned $415,728 on the track himself and has a speed index of 98. While his sire comprised the blood of First Down Dash, Chicks Beduino and Azure Te, his dam goes back to Streakin Six, Three Ohs, Dash For Cash, Jet Deck and Lady Bugs Moon.
“His colts are handling everything so well,” said team roper and Lazy E owner Micah McKinney. “We’re seeing a lot of good-minded horses come off the track that can do whatever you ask of them.
“We’ve got a couple right now in training that we’re heading, heeling, breakaway roping on, and running barrels, too. We’ve crossed him on all race-bred mares because that’s what we have, and they’re just handling the pressure.”
Bobby Mote, the four-time World Champion bareback rider who trains rope horses, has ridden Coronado Cartel offspring at his arena in Llano, Texas.
“A common theme among the ones I’ve ridden and the ones in race training is that they’re real focused,” Mote said. “Whereas a lot of young horses have attention deficit all the time, these like to have a job. Once they figure out what their job is, they’re totally focused. It’s a super trait. The athleticism is a given. They’re willing and they have huge motors and they can run. He’s proven to be a great race sire and he’s going to be a great performance sire, too.”
Coronado Cartel is a Pink Buckle stallion, meaning he’s eligible for barrel racing’s—and now roping’s—biggest futurity, including a $100,000-added breakaway.
