Air Force Blue Sold To Stand In Korea

Air Force Blue, a European champion and young sire, has been sold to continue his stud career at Peter Hill's Pegasus Farm in Korea, BloodHorse reports.

The 8-year-old son of War Front previously stood at Ashford Stud in Kentucky, where he retired to debut for the 2017 breeding season. His oldest foals are 3-year-olds of 2021.

Leading the way among Air Force Blue's runners is Haddassah, who won this year's Prince of Wales Stakes, a Canadian classic.

Bred in Kentucky by Stone Farm out of the stakes-placed Maria's Mon mare Chatham, Air Force Blue sold to the Coolmore partnership at the 2014 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. He'd go on to be named Europe's champion 2-year-old male of 2018 after a campaign that featured Group 1 victories in the Vincent O'Brien National Stakes and Phoenix Stakes in Ireland and the Dewhurst Stakes in England.

Air Force Blue retired with nine wins in four starts for earnings of $844,919.
