That Wolverhampton record is the key to understanding Blue Force. He's won 2 of his 9 races there—a strong 22% win rate at that track—and it's become his hunting ground. Everywhere else, the numbers don't look as kind. In his eleven attempts at the higher Class 5 level, he hasn't won once, which tells you his comfort zone is lower down the ladder. With jockey Cam Hardie in the saddle, he wins roughly 1 in every 5 races (4 wins from 20), notably better than his overall average, suggesting they bring something out of each other.
The horse has earned £74,000 in his career, a decent haul for a mid-tier performer, and his trainer's yard is having a solid season with 23 winners. Right now Blue Force is in a spell where the wins have dried up, but his track record at Wolverhampton and his form with Hardie suggest there are still races to be won—probably at tracks and levels where he's found success before.
