Mister Bluebird

The most striking thing about Mister Bluebird is his love of wet ground. On muddy or sodden going, he transforms into a different horse entirely — he has won 3 of his 7 races on such conditions, a win rate of 43 percent. That is a genuine edge, the kind of statistic that matters on a soggy British afternoon when other horses are struggling for purchase. His most recent victory came at Great Yarmouth on 24 July 2025, and it is now over a year since he last crossed the line first. Jack Mitchell, his most frequent rider, has steered him to 1 win from 8 races together, a modest 12 percent win rate that reflects the partnership is functional rather than sparkling.

Mister Bluebird is in active racing right now — he ran as recently as one day ago — and his form in that window shows a horse still competing hard. His last six races have brought two second-place finishes and a third, interspersed with some tougher days out. He has not won in those last six runs, and at eight years old with a career earnings picture that is respectable rather than remarkable, he is a horse doing what he does best: turning up, running honestly, and waiting for the right conditions to suit. When soft or heavy ground comes, he is worth watching.
