The Cheltenham win last December was the most recent success, and it landed in one of the year's most prestigious contests. For a horse that won its first race at Thurles back in March 2024, climbing to that level shows real progression. Since that Cheltenham victory ten months ago, though, the form has been patchy. In the last six runs, there has been one fifth-place finish, a couple of sevenths, a tenth, and a pair of unplaced efforts. These results suggest the horse is finding the step back down to standard races after tasting top-class competition, or simply that age and mileage are beginning to take their toll.
Danny Mullins has been the regular rider, partnering Blaze The Way 15 times and winning twice — a 13 percent win rate that mirrors the horse's overall record. Ms Margaret Mullins trains from Goresbridge in County Kilkenny, and her yard has been productive this season with six winners sent out. The fact that Blaze The Way raced just a day ago shows it remains active and competitive, even if recent form has dipped. This is a horse that has proved it can win at the highest level, but it is now in that phase where consistency at lesser tracks matters far more than the memory of a big-race victory.
