Caeruleus (IRE)
Caeruleus is a colt by Blue Point out of a Galileo mare who has one win from five runs, the success coming at Class 4 level over 6f-7f on standard going at Newcastle in Jun 2026. He has raced exclusively over that trip range. His last run, at York in Aug 2026, saw him finish third of 18 in a Class 2 nursery off a career-high mark of 81. He has never won on turf.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 85
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →
