By Ethan Anderson| Reviewed by Olivia Bennett, Standards & Fact-Checking Lead| Updated July 26, 2026|2 min read| Fact-checked

Bonnie Blue is a racehorse name used by multiple horses in different countries and eras, making the name alone ambiguous. The best-documented horse in the supplied results is a U.S.-bred bay filly foaled on 18 April 2021, trained by Susan Cooney and owned by Lazy Lane Farm LLC.

Racing identity

Bonnie Blue is not a single uniquely identifiable racehorse in the supplied material. The results indicate several horses with this name, so the most relevant modern profile is Bonnie Blue (USA), a bay filly foaled in 2021.

Bloodline and connections

The U.S.-bred Bonnie Blue is by Air Force Blue out of Bonnie Rose, with Hansel as the damsire. She is trained by Susan Cooney and owned by Lazy Lane Farm LLC.

Form record

The available race record shows two flat-racing starts in 2024 at Colonial Downs over 5f 110y, with finishes of 11th and 9th.

Name ambiguity

Other horse-racing databases in the results show different Bonnie Blue entries, including an older British mare by Karinga Bay out of Last Shower and a New Zealand-bred Bonnie Blue foaled in 1993. This means the name alone is ambiguous without a country or foaling year.
