Mister Sky Blue

That single win came at Hamilton Park in May 2025, and it remains the high point of a career that has earned the horse a living at Class 6 level — the entry-level tier of British racing, where most of his 13 starts in that grade have come. He has won 1 of those 13 Class 6 races, or roughly 1 in 13, which tells you he is competitive enough to keep getting entries but hasn't yet found a way to dominate at that level consistently. The fact he has been placed six times in total, though, suggests the talent is genuinely there.

His recent form reads 7-2-9-4-4-2 — two near-misses bookending a couple of mid-pack efforts and one rough day in the nine. He has not won in his last six races, and his most regular partner, jockey Rowan Scott, is still looking for a first win together from seven attempts. Tutty, however, is not concerned about the horse's ability — she has noted his home work has been good ahead of a planned run at Redcar. What she is weighing up is whether blinkers might help. That is a telling detail: when a trainer says a horse keeps "a little bit up his sleeve," it usually means he is smart enough to do just enough to place without fully committing. Blinkers are designed to focus a horse's attention and stop exactly that kind of coasting. It would be a straightforward intervention, and if it clicks, it could turn a serial bridesmaid into a winner.

Tutty's yard has already sent out 20 winners this season, so this is a team in form. Mister Sky Blue goes to Redcar as a horse whose record might look modest on paper but who has more in him than a single win suggests — and potentially a trick left to try.
