The Bluesman signaled that he is a likely winner in waiting when making his debut in a Dromahane four-year-old maiden that was contested by a number of eye-catching individuals, as evidenced by the price tags that the placed horses entered the race with from the store sales. The Walk In The Park-sired winner was a €75,000 purchase, the runner-up a €100,000 buy back that is also by Walk In The Park, with The Bluesman himself having been bought for €140,000. An eye-filling son of Crillon, he made an immediate impression here as he held every chance as the race began to develop in the home straight, and he jumped the last disputing second, only for a notable mistake here to cost him valuable momentum and a likely top two finishing position. A bright future looks to lie ahead.
