The 2025 Arizona Sun Circuit proved once again why it’s one of the most anticipated events of the season — especially for breeders, owners, and stallion fans following the Super Sires program. With $26,306 in payback awarded across classes (not including physical awards), the competition spotlighted some of the industry’s most exciting young talent and underscored the influence of today’s leading sires in shaping the next generation of champions.
Among the standout performers was VS Bettin N Spades, the highest-earning horse of the show with $1,835 in Super Sires earnings, sired by VS Code Red. Close behind was VS Whole Lotta Lucy, a red roan mare by VS Flatline, who took home the Super Sires Green Junior Trail Championship and $1,500 in prize money. The Lopin Machine made his mark with KM Once Upon A Time, winner of the 4–5-Year-Old Trail Championship, while RL Best of Sudden dominated the leaderboard as the top-earning stallion overall, represented by multiple high-money earners including Stop Talking, Socks For Dayz, and Bestofmadisoncounty. With consistently deep classes and impressive payouts, the Super Sires program continues to elevate the quality and recognition of stallion-driven competition.
