AIR FORCE BLUE won his second consecutive Grade 1 stakes after a three-length win in Goffs Vincent O’Brien National S.-G1 at the Curragh. The 2-year-old colt by WAR FRONT flew by the frontrunner inside the final furlong and cruised to an impressive victory. AIR FORCE BLUE was coming out of a two-length win in the Keeneland Phoenix S.-G1 in August. He has now won three of four starts and finished runner-up in Royal Ascot’s Coventry S.-G2. Bred by Stone Farm out of Chatham, by Maria’s Mon, he was a $490,000 purchase out of last year’s Keeneland September sale. The Aidan O’Brien trainee races for Mrs. Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith.
