Power Blue

What really stands out is what Power Blue does at The Curragh, the spiritual home of Irish flat racing. Of his five races there, he has won two — that's 2 from 5 at a track where most horses struggle to win once. His first win came in March 2025, and he went back and did it again in August, suggesting this isn't luck but a genuine affinity for the place. De Aguiar's yard has sent out 11 winners this season, and Power Blue has been a meaningful part of that.

David Egan has been the regular partner, riding him in 7 of his 8 races and winning twice — a win rate of 29%, or just under 1 in 3 rides together. That's a combination that clearly works. After the August Curragh win, Egan spoke about how the horse quickened sharply in the final hundred yards and galloped all the way to the boards — the sign of a horse that isn't just winning but doing so with something left in the tank. The feeling from the yard is that he'll stay further than five furlongs in time, which opens up a whole new set of options.

His recent form reads 7-2-1-3-5-2, which tells its own story — a winner just two runs ago, and a second place as recently as yesterday. He raced just one day ago and is clearly in the thick of a busy campaign. Earlier in the season the yard flagged him as one of their best chances for a major race at Coventry, noting a strong second behind Albert Einstein as evidence he could compete at the highest level. At three years old, still strengthening and improving with every run, Power Blue looks like a horse who hasn't come close to showing his ceiling yet.
