BBOTD - Sunday 25th May 2014

14.45 Curragh: Blue Hussar @ 4/1 Betfair - 4pts win

Blue Hussar shaped nicely on his seasonal reappearance at Lingfield in the Derby trial. He was trailing and didn't look quite happy there for a long time of the race but made impressive headway in the home straight. I would imagine that he'll come on allot for this run. He looked a smart prospect when he won over 7f on soft ground at Leopardstown on debut. Outpaced halway out, he made progress on the wide outside coming around the home bend producing a nice turn of foot in the closing stages to win in some style. He might looked like a horse that wouldn't mind the Derby distance lto, but the slight drop in trip to 10f shouldn't be an issue today, due to the very rain softened ground at the Curragh, which I feel should play into the hands of this powerful galloping colt.
