Power Blue became Space Blues first winner on Sunday, 16 March when making all the running over five furlongs at the Curragh. Jumped straight to the front from the stalls, he quickened clear to record a three-and-three-quarter length triumph. 
Power Blue was ridden by David Egan and raced prominently throughout the Castle Star At Capital Stud Irish EBF Maiden, and when challenged by Army Leave he pulled away to win by three and three-quarter lengths, with Army Leave fading to third and Slaney View staying on into second.
