BLUE POINT (IRE) (c, 2, Shamardal–Scarlett Rose {GB}, by Royal Applause {GB}), who scored on debut at Nottingham June 9, was sent off the 3-10 favourite and tanked along in second initially before assuming the lead before the first two furlongs were up. Pushed out to extend into an unassailable advantage from halfway, the 110,000gns TATFOA foal and 200,000gns TATOCT yearling was eased inside the last furlong but still had 11 lengths to spare over the filly Shamsaya (Ire) (Shamardal) who had last been seen finishing fourth in the Listed Empress S. The winner is a half-brother to the G2 Railway S. winner Formosina (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), GSW-Ire & GSP-Eng, $185,830. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $10,645. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
