Lovely Jubly, the dam of six-time Gr1-winning world champion sprinter Chautauqua, will be amongst the mares awaiting triple Group-1 winning champion European 2YO Air Force Blue when he arrives in Australia for the 2017 southern hemisphere breeding season. Edwina Throsby, whose family’s Woodbury Pty Ltd. owns Lovely Jubly said: “The mating was recommended to us by our advisors and having done our research into Air Force Blue, we were more than happy to go with him. He was clearly an exceptionally fast, precocious horse and the more I read about him, the more I liked him.” Air Force Blue earned a Timeform rating of 128p as a juvenile to see him ranked the highest-rated champion two year-old in Europe for the last 20 years, with the exception of Frankel. The best two-year-old by world-class sire War Front, Air Force Blue will stand the 2017 southern hemisphere season at Coolmore Australia at a fee of $16,500 (incl. GST).
