Always Blue
Three races in and still waiting for that first win, Always Blue is a three-year-old who has nonetheless shown enough to suggest the day is coming. A second-place finish sits on the record alongside two other runs where the horse finished fourth and fifth, meaning there has been consistency of a sort — always in the mix, never quite getting over the line.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Harriet Bethell out of her yard in Arnold, East Yorkshire, Always Blue is in capable hands. Bethell's team has sent out 18 winners this season, which speaks to an operation that knows how to get horses to perform. A trainer with that kind of season behind them tends to know when a horse is ready, and with Always Blue having raced just one day ago, patience is clearly still the game plan.
The record of zero wins from three races is not a cause for alarm at this stage — plenty of good horses take time to find their feet at three. What matters is that the placed finish shows Always Blue can compete, and the fact that Bethell keeps running the horse suggests confidence that a breakthrough is close.
