The Blue Panther
The Blue Panther is a journeyman eight-year-old who has found his level as a consistent mid-field performer, winning 3 of his 38 races—roughly 1 in every 13 starts. He is actively racing and competed just a day ago, which speaks to his durability and willingness, though his current form is a concern: he has not won in his last six outings, finishing no better than fourth in that stretch. For a horse this old and this far down the ladder, a winning streak would be welcome relief.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes The Blue Panther worth watching is his clear preference for Listowel, where he has won 2 of his 5 races there—a win rate of 2 in 5—and his sweet spot in the distance range of 1m1f to 1m2f, where he has recorded 2 wins from 12 attempts (roughly 1 in 6). His most recent win came at Listowel on 23 September 2025, nearly a year ago now, which means he has been in the doldrums for some time. He is trained by R P Burns at Collinstown in County Westmeath, a modest operation that has managed five winners this season, and is most regularly ridden by Gary Carroll, though their partnership has yielded just 1 win from 8 races together. If The Blue Panther is to find his way back to the winner's enclosure, a return to Listowel over a trip in his preferred range would give him his best chance.
