The horse has clear preferences that his handlers appear to understand well. He thrives on slightly soft or wet ground, where he has won 3 of 6 races — a 50% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall form. On faster, firmer ground his record deteriorates markedly. He also shows his best over middle distances of roughly 1 mile 6 furlongs to 2 miles, winning 1 of 3 races at that trip. Most of his racing has been at Class 4 level, where he has won 2 of 7 races, indicating he is competitive at that grade.
His recent form has been patchy. Over his last six starts he has finished fifth three times, sixth twice, and placed once — a run of results suggesting he is finding it harder to get his head in front. That said, he did win at Uttoxeter on 24 July, four weeks ago, so he remains capable of performing on his day. Interestingly, he has partnered with jockey Nick Slatter on five occasions without recording a win, which may prompt the yard to experiment with different riders if form does not improve. With the yard sending out 18 winners already this season, Billy Boi Blue will be hoping to add to that tally and recapture the form that made him a decent prospect through his early racing career.
