About
Blue Anthem is a 4yo gelding trained by Gerard O'Leary in Kildare. He is by the stallion Starspangledbanner out of Blues Sister. To date, Blue Anthem has recorded three wins. On 25 May 2025 at Salisbury, he secured his most important victory, taking the $8,608.00 Class 5 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 50% return on investment.
