Registration Number: #1213
Registered Name: Blue Me Away
Nickname: Blue
Age: Four years (Y10)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Black
Height: 16.2hh
Gender: Colt
Personality:Blue is spunky and energetic. He's always on the go and doesn't like to stop, giving his all in everything he does. He is a spirited colt and hates being left in a stable, so he is much happier when pastured during the day where he can stretch his legs with the sun on his back. Blue isn't very affectionate toward people and is fussy over who he bonds with and will let you know quite quickly when he's had enough. He does however like the companionship of other horses, being best suited to more submissive paddock mates as he is a dominant personality. Because of this, he forms strong rivalries with other dominant horses and hates to be beaten by them so you can bet he will try doubly as hard to beat them.
Pedigree: Whippet x Bluebell Sonnet
Pedigree Comments:If races were won because of bloodlines and bragging rights, Blue would definitely have a few wins to his name due to the fact that he has some wonderful bloodlines.
Sired by Whippet, Blue was definitely bred for races over longer distances. Whippet was a grade one racehorse who retired with a record of 45-16-7-3 and a lifetime consistency of 76 percent. This stallion was known for his feisty temperament and the fact that he gave his all in every race. Even though his dam, Bluebell Sonnet, was not raced herself she is not a dam to turn your nose up at. She is the dam of the now retired grade one Lawliet's Girl, a mare who achieved twenty-two wins in her lifetime.

Race Record: 49-22-19-5
Grade: One
Surface: Turf
Distance: 8-12 Furlongs
(1f Distance Extension applied)
Leg Type: Front/Preceder
Racing Style:Blue just absolutely loves the track. He has a strong desire to compete and the atmosphere of the racecourse just fires up his spirit. Before entering the gate he checks out his competition, and if one of his rivals is in the race he will make sure they know he plans to beat them. He runs usually as a preceder but is also well suited to leading races. He breaks from the gate quickly and takes position either in preceder or leader position, depending on whether there are any front runners in the field. Due to the front runner position not being his main style, Blue is not pressured by stalkers and preceders to pick up the pace. It is in the straight when Blue really comes into his own. Unlike most front runners and preceders he will still have a lot of energy stored for the home run and he will use it. He has a lot of heart and determination so he will not give in, no matter how tired he is.
