From the connections
“Blues Emperor is very brave and when he gets his head in front he is hard to get past.”
“Blues Emperor is a bonny little horse. We wondered would he handle this better ground but he is very tough and genuine. Hopefully he will make into a Premier Handicap horse - Johnny Murtagh, trainer.”
“Blues Emperor has probably done nothing but improve. He ran well at Dundalk and very well at Cork the last day. Ben (Coen) said he got into a pocket but he's very genuine, he tried his hardest when he got into the gap. We'll probably give him one more outing this season - Johnny Murtagh, trainer.”
