Leonardo Blu

Where Leonardo Blu catches the eye is over his ideal trip of one mile and one furlong to one mile and two furlongs. Over that distance, he has won 1 of his 4 races (one in four, or 25%), nearly three times better than his overall record. This suggests Tom Clover's Newmarket yard has found something that works, even if the horse has not yet learned to reproduce it reliably. The trainer has been in good form this season, sending out 23 winners, so there is competence in the background. Leonardo Blu's most recent outing, just yesterday, came with little fanfare — likely another test to find the key to unlocking more wins. For now, he remains a work in progress: a young horse with a winning target well within his sights, but not yet the kind of reliable competitor who makes punters' lists.
