In August 2002, Blue Canari was consigned by the Haras du Mezeray to the Deauville yearling sale and was bought for €135,000 by the Chantilly Bloodstock Agency,[2] acting on behalf of Jean-Louis Bouchard.
Blue Canari began his racing career in a contest for previously unraced colts and geldings over 1600 metres at Deauville Racecourse on 21 October in which he finished third, beaten three quarters of a length and a nose by Fast And Furious and Mistral D'Arnoult.
[4] On 6 June, Blue Canari, ridden as usual by Thulliez, started a 33/1 outsider for the 167th running of the Prix du Jockey Club over 2400 metres at Chantilly Racecourse.
He began to make progress 400 metres from the finish, emerged as a serious challenger in the closing stages, and overtook Prospect Park in the final stride to win by a head, with Valixir and Day Flight just behind.
[11] In November 2006, Blue Canari was offered for sale at Tattersalls and bought for 90,000 guineas by the Swiss-based Gestut Sohrenhof,[12] and was exported to stand as a breeding stallion in Switzerland.
