That Is Blue

The recent form — three consecutive third-place finishes, then a second last time out — suggests a horse that knows how to be involved at the business end of a race. That consistency is rare enough. Many horses either win or disappear; That Is Blue has done neither. Still active and having raced just a day ago, this is a horse in regular work at a yard that has already sent out 15 winners this season, so the support and attention are clearly there. Whether That Is Blue will break through for that elusive first win remains to be seen, but it is clearly a horse that belongs in competitive company.
