Hot on the hoof of Aranda’s six length victory in Singapore, Bel Esprit has produced another winner in Hong Kong in the shape of classy miler Blue Sky.

Racing around the 1650m circuit at Happy Valley, Blue Sky proved much too strong for rivals, recording his first win in the region.

Now with the powerful Caspar Fownes stable, Blue Sky raced on seven occasions in Australia for a win and four placings, including a half length second in the VRC Gothic Stakes-LR at Flemington.

Purchased for $200,000 by Clinton McDonald out of Eliza Park’s 2006 Gold Coast Magic Millions draft, Blue Sky was exported to Hong Kong in April last year.

Hailing from the first crop of Bel Esprit, Blue Sky is out of the Supremo mare Aquatint, a half sister to Group One winning 2YO Rhythmic Charm and Group One placed Kiwi, Greenstone Charm. This is also the family of last year’s VRC Patinack Classic-G1 winner Swick.
