The Curragh is where Power Blue really comes alive. Both of its career wins have come at the track, from 5 attempts there — and watching it race on that course, it is easy to see why the team keeps coming back. Its first win came on 16 March 2025, and it returned to the same venue on 9 August to win again, suggesting this is not a horse that flukes its best performances. Some horses find one track that suits them and never look back. Power Blue appears to be one of those.
The yard is clearly pleased with how the horse has developed across the season. De Aguiar has noted that Power Blue has grown bigger and stronger as the year has gone on, improving with each run and never giving less than its best. That last detail matters — plenty of horses at this age go through patches where they sulk or switch off, but Power Blue has been described as the ultimate professional, quickening sharply in the final stages when asked. The team also believes there is more distance to come, suggesting the horse has not yet found its ideal trip.
Jockey David Egan has been on board for 6 of the 7 races and the two have clearly built an understanding, winning 2 of those 6 races together — roughly 1 in 3. Power Blue raced just one day ago, so it is very much in the middle of a busy campaign. With 11 winners sent out by the yard this season and a horse this consistent in their care, the team at Mullingar have every reason to be optimistic about what comes next.
