Maderson Blue in his moment of triumph at Uttoxeter, clearly deciding that the trophy was in the bag before Robert Thornton was as confident
Jul10: Finally made it back on track, and came out of it healthier than the man on board in the picture above. Maderson was fourth at Stratford, could have been second had he not destroyed the final flight of hurdles, and it was just the tune up needed.
Apr09: After getting over his injuries from the hurdle debut, he has been further held up by a liver infection. Aaarghhh!
Feb09: Made his hurdles debut, but it did not go well, getting struck into, losing a shoe and ending up with a lot of bruising in and around his tendon. He will do much better when accident free.
Jul08: Had to put up with stand-in jockey when Seamus Durack was not available at Uttoxeter, but as the sub was Robert Thornton, he managed to live with it, and and to annoy Seamus, Maderson Blue also won. Choc thought plenty of him, and although giving the feel to a staying chaser to be, reckoned he could win another bumper.
May08: Has had a couple of bumper runs, doing well in a decent race at Lingfield, but then showing a lot of greenness when fourth at Newton Abbot. He is looking like a stayer in the making, and probably will find sharp tracks not ideal.
Mar08: Maderson Blue has joined us from Ireland, where he had been with Gerry Burke, from whom we acquired Alderbrook Girl and Canny Scot. He is unraced, and out of a half-sister to Marlborough. The delay had been due to his yard having a bit of a cough going round and the avoidance of him arriving with an unwelcome stowaway. Initially, he took a while to get at ease with the rolling Lambourn Downs, but has gradually settled in.
Pistolet Bleu won six of his eleven starts, all of which came in Group races. He won over 9 furlongs as a two year old on his debut in a Gr,. 3 race, and succeeded up to 1m 4f in Gr. 1 races, including the Prix Ganay and Grand Prix de Saint Cloud. At the time of writing, his offspring have won 121 jump races, worth £999,168. Recent winners include Sizing Europe, I'msingingtheblues (both pattern races) and in recent seasons Vodka Bleu, Katarino, Fair Le Jojo and Geos have stood out.
