Blaze was an A1 racer who ran at Monmore. His career was cut short due to a toe injury resulting in a front toe amputation. His full potential was never seen but running top grade at such a young age, open race success was sure to follow. When he started trialling he was thought he was fastest in his litter which is high praise considering his brother is multiple cat 1 winning Signet Ace!
