Blue Sky At Night (2017) Horse
About
Blue Sky At Night is an 8yo bay mare trained by Shelley Hale in Cambridge. She is by Shamexpress out of After Midnight. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $362,068, she is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 22 February 2025 at Ellerslie, ridden by Tayla Mitchell, she captured her biggest victory to date in the $250,000 Open Handicap, beating About Time. Throughout her career she has been a lucrative prospect for bettors; a consistent backer would have seen about a 131% return on investment.
