About

Blue Tongue is a 4yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Brett Cavanough. He is by Capitalist out of Tongue And Groove. To date he has recorded a single victory. His biggest triumph came on 25 Jan 2025 at Newcastle, where he won the $42,000 Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; a full‑career backer would have earned a 67% ROI.
