Bluebush Boy colours Generated livery card for Bluebush Boy, saddlecloth 4 — royal blue with a white band, a royal blue cap and a natural timber sulky, over a dun coat swatch.

A runner on this circuit carries colours rather than a photograph. There is nothing to photograph: the livery is drawn from the same values the simulator renders, so the card above and the screen agree.

The rating is not a handicapper's mark — this circuit has no handicapper. It is the runner's mean published weighting: the average block of numbers, out of 1,000, that GP-Draw 4.2 has given it across the cards it appears on. Divide by ten for the mean true win percentage.

Prizemoney
—

The record reads starts–wins–seconds–thirds and the form string runs oldest to newest, so the last figure is the most recent finishing position. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when a card this runner is declared in is drawn. There is no prizemoney on this circuit: nothing is staked, so nothing is won, and the money column is printed as an em dash rather than filled with a number that does not exist.

Every card

5 published · 2 drawn · 3 to run

Every card Bluebush Boy appears on, newest first, read off the cards themselves. Numbers is the block of 1,000 the weighting table gave this runner in that race; price is the same figure in the other notation. A card still to run has no finishing position, because nothing has been drawn yet.

Fields are fixed when a card is published, so there are no scratchings and no starting price: the price in this table is the one the card carried. How a virtual race is decided works through the arithmetic.

Prices on this page are the draw weighting in another notation. They are reference figures published with the card, not odds available anywhere, and not a betting recommendation.

The form line

the desk, on what the weightings have done

Bluebush Boy has five published cards, as each of the eight pacers does, and the thinnest mean weighting of them: a mean block of 76 numbers of the 1,000. It held 41 numbers at $21.30 in the Standing Start Trot and finished fifth of eight, then 51 at $16.62 in the Class C Mobile Pace and finished sixth of eight, 7.9 lengths back.

Tonight is its thickest block to date: barrier one in the Kurrajong Mile with 144 numbers at $6.06, 16.5 per cent implied against 14.4 per cent true, a margin of 2.1 points. It takes 106 numbers in the Class B 24 minutes later at $8.15, and 38 at Gidgee the following night at $22.26.

It is trained by Bronwyn Esch and driven by Dale Prentice. The dun coat is the palest in the field after Salt Pan's grey, which is why the royal blue and the white band read at the top of the screen where the sprite is drawn smallest.
