Mister Sky Blue
Mister Sky Blue has won just once in his last 29 races — a victory that came at Hamilton Park on 4 May 2025 and feels increasingly distant now, nearly 17 months in the rear-view mirror. The 4-year-old has finished third or fourth in five of his last six outings, a frustrating pattern for a horse who was once capable of breaking through. That single win came in a Class 6 race, the lowest tier of competitive racing, where he has won just once in 13 attempts. Over his whole career, he has managed only 1 win and 8 places from 29 races — a win rate that reflects a horse running consistently without quite delivering when it counts.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trainer Gemma Tutty, based at Osmotherley in North Yorkshire, has kept faith with Mister Sky Blue despite the drought. He notes that his work at home has been encouraging, though he suspects he may run better with blinkers fitted at some point this season — a hint that the horse has more to offer than his recent results suggest, and that small tactical adjustments might unlock it. Rowan Scott, his most frequent jockey, has ridden him in 7 races without a win, though Scott is not a primary factor here; the real issue is finding the spark that got him home at Hamilton nearly two years ago. Tutty's yard has sent out 20 winners this season, so there is form and confidence in the stable. With Mister Sky Blue entered at Redcar on Thursday, his the yard are still looking for the breakthrough that would finally end the long wait.
