He has the long, lean elegance of a classic Thoroughbred, reminiscent of his sire Colonel John and second damsire, Canadian Champion With Approval, yet Airoforce received precocious speed from his damsire Cuvee. Airoforce was victorious at distances ranging between 6 1/2-furlongs and 1 1/16-miles. Although he competed mainly on turf, Airoforce won a key stake over dirt. His immediate pedigree has dirt and turf attributes. A magnificent looking $350,00 OBS April sales purchase campaigned by John Oxley, Airoforce flashed precociousness and speed in his debut, drawing away to win a six-furlong turf sprint by 3 1/4-lengths in a sharp 1:10.34, just a second off the Kentucky Downs track record. Airoforce dominated the Dixiana Bourbon Stakes (G3) by 2 1/2-lengths over a full field of fourteen over the Keeneland turf, including Camelot Kitten, Surgical Strike. Airoforce faced a full field of high-class youngsters as the favorite in the 2015 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1). and missed the victory by a neck, after racing in traffic and being distracted in the stretch.

So we asked a tough question to several industry members: How do we make racing at its highest level more diverse? DORA DELGADO, Executive VP and Chief Racing Officer at Breeders= Cup The key to diversifying any business is to take a hard look at the data and a hard look at the social and economic roadblocks that stand in the way of making our industry, including its leadership, more diverse.

  • Louisville Stakes (Grade III)
    Louisville Stakes (Grade III) 85th Running – 2022 (Spring Meet) 3-Year-Olds & Up at 1 1/2 Miles on Turf at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 2:27.16, Simmard (2012) Name Origin: Race honors Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky, and the county seat of Jefferson County. Since 2003, the city’s borders have been coterminous with those of the county because of a city-county merger. The city’s total consolidated population as of the 2017 census estimate was 780,352. However, the balance total of 619,287 excludes other incorporated places and semiautonomous towns within the county and is the population listed in most sources and national rankings. The Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Louisville-Jefferson County and 12 surrounding counties (seven in Kentucky and five in Southern Indiana) had a population of 1,269,702 in 2014, which ranked 43rd nationally. An important internal shipping port in the 19th century, Louisville today is best known as the location of the Kentucky Derby. Louisville is situated on the Ohio River in north-central Kentucky at the Falls of the Ohio. Because it includes counties in Southern Indiana, the Louisville metropolitan area is often referred to as Kentuckiana. The river forms the border between Kentucky and Indiana. A resident of Louisville is referred to as a Louisvillian. Although situated in a Southern state, Louisville is influenced by both Southern and Midwestern culture. It is sometimes referred to as either the northernmost Southern city or the southernmost Northern city in the United States. The settlement that became the city of Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark and is named after King Louis XVI of France.
