Cat Blade

The horse is trained by Robson De Aguiar at Mullingar in County Westmeath, a yard that has already sent out 16 winners this season. De Aguiar's team clearly knows how to get horses ready, so Cat Blade will be absorbing the basics — how to handle a crowd, how to settle in a race, how different ground and distances feel. With the recent run just yesterday, it is clear the trainer is keen to keep the horse active and racing regularly, which is a solid approach for a young horse still learning its trade. Whether Cat Blade develops into something competitive remains to be seen, but for a 2-year-old still in single figures for career races, the opportunity to race frequently is often more valuable than the results on the board.
