Shes Got The Blues

The real story is Brighton. This horse loves that track the way some horses love home. She has won three of her four races there—a 75% win rate that stands out like a beacon among the rest of her form. Most recently, on 28 September 2026, she won there again, suggesting the track simply suits her. She also thrives when the ground is normal or dry; on those surfaces she wins roughly one in every three races, compared to her overall average of one in five. Give her a seven-furlong to one-mile race on quick ground at Brighton and she becomes a completely different proposition.

Where she struggles is in the top-tier races. She has never won from six attempts in Class 6 company—the highest level she has raced in so far—which signals her true ceiling. She is a horse built for smaller, less competitive contests, not races against the elite. Tony Carroll's yard at Cropthorne has been firing on all cylinders this season with 136 winners, and She's Got The Blues has been one of the bright spots. The real value in this horse lies in spotting the right race: a normal or dry track, a mile or less, and ideally back at Brighton where she is a different animal entirely.
