Blue Skies Above
Three races, no wins, no places — Blue Skies Above hasn't given punters much to cheer about so far. The two-year-old has finished 10th, 5th, and 8th across its three outings to date, a sequence that tells the story of a young horse still finding its feet rather than one knocking on the door of a win.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That said, context matters here. Two-year-olds are essentially teenagers being asked to compete professionally, and it's not unusual for them to take several races just to work out what's being asked of them. The fifth-place finish in the middle of that run is at least a flicker of improvement worth watching — it suggests Blue Skies Above isn't simply running around lost out there.
The horse races out of Oliver Cole's yard at Whatcombe in Oxfordshire, a setup that has sent out 8 winners already this season, so there's clearly no shortage of ability in the stable. Cole will have a clearer picture now than he did at the start of the campaign of where this horse might be suited and what conditions could help it find its best form. With a run just one day ago, Blue Skies Above is bang in the middle of its season — there's plenty of time yet for the penny to drop.
