Blue Boy Junior

The horse is trained by David and Nicola Barron at Maunby in North Yorkshire, a yard that has had a solid season so far with 15 winners already sent out this year. That level of success suggests the Barrons know how to get horses to the winners' enclosure, even if Blue Boy Junior has not yet crossed that line himself. For a 3-year-old without a win yet, being kept in training by a capable yard is a positive sign — they see something worth developing. His recent form has shown small steps forward, with two consecutive fourths suggesting he is competitive and capable of running well without quite getting over the line just yet.
