The numbers get even more striking when you dig in. A 40% win rate — four wins from ten races — puts Blue Rc well above the average for horses at this level. Wins roughly two in every five races it enters. And at Class 4 level, its natural home, the record reads two wins from three races, a 67% conversion rate that is frankly outstanding. When conditions suit, this horse does not mess around.
The headline moment came on New Year's Day 2026, when Blue Rc stepped up to a Class 2 race — one of the top-tier events in Britain — at Southwell and won it. That is a significant jump in class, and the fact that it handled it tells you the horse has genuine quality beyond just being comfortable at its usual level. Class 2 winners are the ones who can compete with the best around, and Blue Rc showed it belongs in that conversation.
Behind all of this is James Tate's yard in Newmarket, one of British racing's most respected addresses. Tate's team has sent out 50 winners already this season, which is the kind of output that reflects a well-run, ambitious operation. Horses trained there are typically well-prepared and placed sensibly — and Blue Rc's record suggests that approach is working perfectly here.
With recent form reading 2-1-2-2-1-1 and the horse still active — it raced just one day ago — Blue Rc is not a story that is winding down. Three wins from its last six races, finishing on the podium every single time, points to a horse in the form of its life. Watch this one closely.
