Reports in which Rocky Blue (IRE) was mentioned
Rocky Blue hadn't been seen on the Flat for more than four years, but it proved no hindrance to him as he bolted up in the Tote Fantasy Apprentice Handicap at Ballinrobe.
Mon 22nd Jul
Rocky Blue (7/2) had been a real eye-catcher on his comeback from a long lay-off at Sligo, and he duly came forward nicely from that outing to land the 1m 2f handicap.
Thu 16th Jul
Grade Two winning hurdler Rocky Blue made a lovely return to the fray off a 554 day break but the Killyhevlin Lakeside Hotel & Lodges Enniskillen Handicap at Sligo belonged to local winner Sicario under Ronan Whelan.
Thu 02nd Jul
Rocky Blue dented some big reputations when winning the Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown.
Wed 26th Dec
The complexion of the Sanctuary Synthetics 3-y-o Hurdle changed at the second last with victory eventually going to Jessica Harrington's favourite Got Trumped (7/2) at Punchestown.
Sat 17th Nov
There was a dramatic conclusion to proceedings at Navan as two of the big players departed the scene turning into the back straight in the Sequence Events Handicap. At the end of the mile six event it was Rocky Blue that emerged on top.
Sat 08th Sep
In the Epsom Oaks winning colours of Chantal Regalado-Gonzalez, Daniel Redmond took the concluding Opportunity To Win In The Glasshouse Hotel After Ladies Day Tomorrow Handicap on the John Murphy-trained Marlborough Sounds (11/1) at Sligo.
Wed 08th Aug
Second earlier on the gambled-on Caesar's Comet in the 7.05, Ronan Whelan rounded off the night on a winner at Down Royal, aboard Cache Queen in the Magners Outcider Handicap.
Fri 27th Jul

I'm just after finding out that he mightn't be qualified for the Galway Hurdle. That was my plan so we may have another plan then if he's not. Maybe he'll go for the amateur handicap or the mile-and-a-half on the Friday. There is also the other hurdle that I won twice with Top Othe Ra. He'll be going nowhere in the morning if his legs are not good because he did break down a couple of years ago. He's in on Saturday but he won't run after today. I was only going to run there if it was too firm tonight. He could be an English Cesarewitch horse, there is plenty of money in that and we could also look at York. There is probably a real good handicap on the Flat for him and a handicap over hurdles with him as well. I think he was rated 132 when he signed off as a hurdler in 2018. He's a lovely horse. He's always playful and always wants to get on with the job.

I bought him for 11,000 euro as a yearling (at Goffs) and we always thought he was good, but he took his time to come. He has a good French staying pedigree. He learned a lot in Punchestown, where he only jumped the last two hurdles, and we felt if he jumped adequate he would improve a lot on that. He won well on the Flat at Navan and got a right slap from the handicapper. Maybe he’s right, but I haven’t gone back on the Flat because of that. Hopefully he holds his form and we can come back here for the Grade One race in February. That’s the obvious target. Hopefully the wheels stay on the bus until then.

All the money was for Willie's but I still really fancied this fella,. He had come on a lot from Sligo. When Willie's came down I said 'if we don't win now I'm in trouble!'. I told the owner 'I really don't fancy Willie's and I think we'll beat him.' He went and had a few pounds on him. I was confident although we got there too soon. He'll more than likely go hurdling now. He's a grand little horse and he's got it all together now.
