Space Blues sires his first G1 winner

Power Blue dominates in the G1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh

Space Blues capped an excellent day as his juvenile colt Power Blue recorded a landmark victory for the sire with a brilliant performance in the G1 Phoenix Stakes over six furlongs at the Curragh on Saturday, 9 August.

Already a consistent Group performer, Power Blue took his form to a new level with a commanding front-running display, staying on well to defeat G2 Railway Stakes winner True Love by a length and a half.

Bred by Finanza Locale Consulting, Power Blue was a £44,000 yearling. He is the first winner out of the Group-placed mare Visions, herself a daughter of Classic winner Worthadd and a granddaughter of Dubawi, making Power Blue inbred 2x3 to the leading sire.

Space Blues has enjoyed an exceptional day, with his daughter Harlequin Angel becoming a new winner at Newmarket, and his full sister Dance To The Music remaining unbeaten when landing the G3 Sweet Solera Stakes, also on Newmarket’s July Course.
