Blu wins at Doncaster!
A wonderful day for the syndicate at Doncaster on Saturday, with Blu Cavalier producing a career-best effort to win a valuable handicap hurdle in great style under Jonjo O’Neill Jnr.
Purchased out of a selling hurdle at Fakenham on New Year’s Day for just £6,000, I thought his third in the Betfair Hurdle at Ascot in February would be very hard to top, but it was brilliant to see him get his head in front in such a competitive handicap and we’ll have to have a good think about where he might go next!
He appears to be taking both his training and racing much better this season, which is fantastic news, and I’m very optimistic that there is more to come from him despite the likelihood of a 5-6lbs rise from the handicapper.
