STALLION ANALYSIS DATE: 9/8/19 (Colonel John - Chocolate Pop, by Cuvee) IRON MAIDENS THOROUGHBREDS [email protected] IRON MAIDENS THOROUGHBREDS Pedigree Consultant SECTION I STALLION AND IMMEDIATE FAMILY http://www.ironmaidensthoroughbreds.com ♦ 1 ♦ [email protected] ♦ 772-475-9798 IRON MAIDENS THOROUGHBREDS Pedigree Consultant AIROFORCE 2019 STALLION MATING ANALYSIS AIROFORCE (Colonel John - Chocolate Pop, by Cuvee) 2013 Gray/Roan 16.2 Hands Record: 12-3-3-0 ($679,130) Section I: STALLION AND IMMEDIATE FAMILY Airoforce is Colonel John’s most accomplished son. 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. He defeated Highland Sky, Dressed in Hermes, and Camelot Kitten, along with international runners. Airoforce showed his versatility over a sloppy track capturing the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (G2) by 1 3/4 lengths. He bested Gun Runner, Mor Spirit, and Mo Tom. The Gray colt’s efforts earned him 120 on the 2015 Experimental Free Handicap, higher than Gun Runner, Mohaymen, and Exaggerator. As a 3-year-old, Airoforce placed in the Penn Mile Stakes (G3) after a troubled beginning, and just missed by a nose in the prestigious National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes (G2) at Saratoga. http://www.ironmaidensthoroughbreds.com ♦ 1 ♦ [email protected] ♦ 772-475-9798 IRON MAIDENS THOROUGHBREDS Pedigree Consultant AIROFORCE 2019 STALLION MATING ANALYSIS SIRE The WinStar homebred Colonel John (Tiznow – Sweet Damsel, by Turkoman) was capable from seven furlongs to 1 1/4-miles over dirt, turf, and synthetics. He retired as a 4-year-old with a record of 15-6-3-1 ($1,779,012). The son of champion sire Tiznow flashed precocity as a 2-year-old, winning or placing in all four starts, including a strong second place in the CashCall Futurity (G1), now known as the Los Alamitos Futurity. At three, Colonel John captured the Sham Stakes (G3) and Santa Anita Derby (G1), before finishing a troubled sixth after having to steady in the 2008 Kentucky Derby (G1). Colonel John proved himself at the classic distance of 1 1/4- miles in the Travers Stakes (G1). The following year, Colonel John showed his adaptability with a victory in the one mile Wickerr Stakes over the Del Mar turf. After racing in mid-pack and having to go wide in the Goodwood Stakes (G1) over Polytrack, Colonel John placed second by a neck. DISTAFF LINE Chocolate Pop (Cuvee – White Chocolate, by With Approval) won or placed in four of six starts as a dirt sprinter, and retired with a 6-1-3-0 ($66,757) record, as the highest earner and most accomplished foal out White Chocolate (With Approval), an allowance class turf miler. Chocolate Pop placed second by narrow margins in the Love Affair Stakes and Busanda Stakes. Chocolate Pop’s half-sister Jacolatt (Twining) is also a stakes-placed dirt sprinter. Airoforce’s second dam White Chocolate is a half-sister to two stakes-winning full sisters by Sweetsouthernsaint (Saint Ballado, Halo line); Saint Knows, a listed winning turf sprinter and the most accomplished in the immediate family, and Her Sweet Saint, a multiple stakes-winning dirt sprinter. Cuvee (Carson City - Christmas Star, by Star de Naskra) won or placed in six of seven starts as a 2-year-old from 4 1/2-furlongs to a mile. After capturing his debut by 6 1/4-lengths, Cuvee was equally impressive in the 5 1/2-furlong Kentucky Breeders' Cup Stakes (G3), dazzling by 8 1/4-lengths. After placing a troubled third in the Bashford Manor (G3), Cuvee retuned to his spectacular ways, dominating the Saratoga Special (G2) by 7 1/2-lengths and defeating Pomeroy, Limehouse and El Prado. The Belmont Futurity (G1) was no contest for the contenders as Cuvee won for fun, speeding away to a 8 1/4-lengh victor over Value Plus. http://www.ironmaidensthoroughbreds.com ♦ 2 ♦ [email protected] ♦ 772-475-9798 IRON MAIDENS THOROUGHBREDS Pedigree Consultant AIROFORCE 2019 STALLION MATING ANALYSIS Cuvee’s distance limitations were uncovered in the 2003 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) when he tried two turns for the first and last time in his career. He stalked the pace four-wide for five furlongs and tired to twelfth place. Cuvee returned as a 3-year-old to place in the listed Matt Winn Stakes and Kentucky Cup Sprint (G3) but finished out of the money after a rough trip in the 2004 Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1). After four years at stud, Cuvee was relocated to Turkey. Cuvee is the sire of 29 blacktype earners. http://www.ironmaidensthoroughbreds.com ♦ 3 ♦ [email protected] ♦ 772-475-9798 IRON MAIDENS THOROUGHBREDS Pedigree Consultant SECTION II STALLION ANCESTRY AND BREEDING PATTERNS http://www.ironmaidensthoroughbreds.com ♦ 1 ♦ [email protected] ♦ 772-475-9798 IRON MAIDENS THOROUGHBREDS Pedigree Consultant AIROFORCE 2019 STALLION MATING ANALYSIS Section II: STALLION ANCESTRY AND BREEDING PATTERNS Airoforce has no inbreeding in his first four generations.
