Cairo Prince, Collected Headline Airdrie Stud’s 2022 Roster

Brereton C. Jones's Airdrie Stud has announced the farm stud fees for the 2022 breeding season.

Cairo Prince, the leading sire of 2-year-old winners in America, will stand the season at a fee of $15,000. Amongst his 23 2-year-old winners is the undefeated stakes-winner Cairo Memories, who will enter as one of the race favorites in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. The leading sire of his stallion crop by both stakes winners and graded stakes winners, Cairo Prince is approaching $6 million in 2021 earnings.

Also standing for a fee of $15,000 is the farm's popular young stallion, Collected. A Grade 1-winning son of leading sire City Zip, Collected has been represented by no fewer than 20 individual six-figure sales horses from his first crop of yearlings in 2021. An earner of nearly $3 million on the racetrack, Collected has bred books of 156, 155 and 103 mares during his first three seasons at stud.

Exceedingly popular Grade 1 Champagne Stakes winner Complexity will stand his second season in 2022 at his introductory fee of $12,500. Booked full at 158 mares in his initial season, the striking son of the hot young sire Maclean's Music ran one of the highest speed figures of 2020 when taking the Grade 2 Kelso H in 1:33 4/5 , earning a 110 Beyer. The $375,000 Mike Ryan yearling purchase was bred by the perennially successful Stonestreet Farm.

Airdrie's young roster is rounded out by the Grade 1-winning duo of Preservationist and Divisidero – both set to be represented by their first weanlings this November – as well as the talented and precocious McCraken, and a mixture of proven and ascending sires in Upstart, Include, Summer Front, Creative Cause and American Freedom.

“I believe Airdrie has earned the reputation as a stallion farm that will stand behind our product and put our breeders in position to profit in the sales ring or on the race track,” said Airdrie's Bret Jones. “As always, we will be supporting our young and exciting roster with the full force of our broodmare band and take great pride in making the same investment in our stallions that we ask of our customers. The commercial breeder knows that we will not flood the market with excessively high booking numbers and racehorse owners know that our stallions throw runners. We are extremely bullish on this year's roster and look forward to working with the incredible breeders that have long supported Airdrie.”

Following is the complete list of advertised fees for Airdrie Stud's 2022 stallion roster.

American Freedom – $6,000
Cairo Prince – $15,000
Collected – $15,000
Complexity – $12,500

Corniche Indicative Of Depth Of Baffert Juveniles

Smack in the middle of the two Grade 2 races on Saturday's program was a 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight sprint for 2-year-olds. And if racing fans were looking for a bridge of interest between the $200,000 John C. Mabee Stakes and the $250,000 Caesars Sportsbook Del Mar Derby they got it.

Corniche, a $1.5 million purchase by Speedway Stables at the Ocala sale in April, trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, drew clear shortly after the break from the gate; led by two lengths at the top of the stretch; extended the advantage via what the charts described as “an energetic hand ride” from jockey Mike Smith: and won by 4 ¼ lengths geared down in a time of 1:03.01

Speedway Stables is the nom du course of Peter Fluor of Houston, TX. His horse, Collected, won the 2017 TVG Pacific Classic.

Corniche was one of 33 2-year-olds Baffert nominated to Monday's $300,000 Grade 1 Runhappy Del Mar Futurity. But Saturday's race represented an impressive debut for the Quality Road colt. And Baffert will have two others who also were impressive debut winners earlier in the meeting as representatives, Pinehurst and Murray, when he seeks a 15th Futurity victory in the penultimate race of the summer meeting.

The nomination deadline for both the Runhappy Del Mar Futurity and today's $300,000 Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante was June 25 this year. And Baffert, always with an abundance of talented babies, takes a shotgun approach when the paperwork is due.

“We have to do it early, so I nominate a lot of them and see which ones are ready when the time comes,” Baffert said this morning.

Murray, a son of Street Sense who commanded $300,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale, debuted with a 10 ¼-length victory at 5 ½ furlongs in 1:04.20 on July 25. Pinehurst, a $385,000 purchase at the same sale and for the same ownership group – SF Racing, Starlight Racing and partners – won his career opener by a half-length, covering five furlongs in :58 flat.

Baffert said Corniche came out of his race in fine fettle and future assignments will be determined in a few days.

“I wasn't surprised, I expected it,” Baffert said of the Corniche effort. “He was flying early and he kept flying late. The Futurity was coming up a little too quick for him, but we're excited about him like we are about several others. This is a really good group of 2-year-olds.”

The field for the Runhappy Del Mar Futurity from the rail with jockeys and morning line odds in parentheses: Pappacap (Joe Bravo, 3-1); Olympic Legend (Jose Valdivia, Jr., 12-1); Finneus (Tiago Pereira, 12-1); Pinehurst (Mike Smith, 5/2); Murray (Flavien Prat, 2-1), and American Xperiment (Umberto Rispoli, 5/2).
