Rodeo Blues

What's particularly eye-catching is the recent form. Rodeo Blues picked up its first career win at Ballinrobe on 22 June 2026, then followed that up with another victory at Naas just twelve days later — this week, in fact. Back-to-back wins at two different tracks suggests a horse that has found its feet and is genuinely improving. The sequence of 1-1-6-4 from the last four runs tells the fuller story: a blip in the middle, but the horse has come right back to winning ways.

Behind Rodeo Blues is the operation run by Joseph Patrick O'Brien at Owning Hill in County Kilkenny. O'Brien's yard has sent out 160 winners already this season — a remarkable volume that puts it among the most productive training operations around. When a yard is firing at that kind of rate, horses in their care tend to be placed in races they can win and managed with confidence. The back-to-back victories for Rodeo Blues look very much like a team that knows exactly what they have on their hands.

Still only three, Rodeo Blues has time on its side. The profile so far — consistent placing, two wins, and a horse that appears to be peaking right now — is the kind of form that tends to attract attention heading into the summer months.
