The horse is trained by W P Mullins at Muine Bheag in County Carlow, one of the most prolific yards in Ireland. Mullins has sent out 215 winners already this season, which speaks to a large, busy operation with horses running constantly across all types of races. That scale means Blue Trix will have had a thorough preparation behind closed doors, though whether it steps onto the track with genuine ability or simply as a learning exercise remains to be seen. There is no form to judge it on, so everything comes down to what it shows on the day.
