Air Force Blue excelled at that age in England and Ireland and was rated Europe’s best 2YO with a Timeform rating of 128p, after winning three consecutive Gr.1 races. He took the Phoenix Stakes over six furlongs and both the National Stakes and Dewhurst Stakes over seven. A $490,000 yearling, Air Force Blue comes from the sixth crop by War Front whose previous five crops had all been sired at fees of €15,000 or less. The son of Danzig has amassed an impressive percentage of Graded/Group winners, with 36 among the 399 runners from his first 7 crops - this equates to a world-class figure of more than 9 per cent and War Front seems destined to follow in Danzig’s footsteps as an important sire of sires. 6
