Blue Pete
Blue Pete has run four times without finding the winner's enclosure, but the picture is not one of a horse going nowhere. The two-year-old has finished second twice in his last four races, most recently just a day ago, which suggests he is running consistently and coming close to breaking through. In his four starts, he has picked up two places to go with those near-misses—a respectable return for a young horse still learning his trade.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Michael Appleby's Oakham yard has been in excellent form this season with 71 winners already, and Blue Pete sits within a training operation that clearly knows how to get the best out of its horses. The pattern of recent form—second, second, third, then seventh—shows a horse that has been genuinely competitive in his last three races, even if last time out things did not go to plan. At this early stage of his career, close finishes count for plenty. A horse that regularly runs second or third is doing the hard work and learning fast, and sometimes it only takes a small shift in circumstances—a slightly better pace, a clearer run—for those placings to become wins.
