About
Dinoblue is a 9yo chestnut trained by W P Mullins in Carlow. He is by the stallion Doctor Dino out of Blue Aster. To date he has won 13 races. On 27 Dec 2023 at Leopardstown he secured his most important victory, collecting the $125,000.00 Cl1 Ch prize. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 7% return on investment.
