Blue Point Colt Wins by Six

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 18

Popular Darley shuttler Blue Point (IRE) has his second winner in the Northern Hemisphere with Valour and Swagger bolting in by more than six lengths at Windsor.

The Karl Burke trained colt raced greenly, but was a mile too good in the 5f juvenile novice beating the favourite Dapperling.

Valour and Swagger made 45,000 guineas at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale and then 80,000 pounds as a yearling at Goffs UK Premier when bought by Oliver St Lawrence Bloodstock.

He is the third winner from three foals to race from Group III placed Music Chart, whose other two winners are by Blue Point’s sire Shamardal.

The first Australian bred Blue Point yearlings were very popular this year with his top sellers listed below and the Royal Ascot hero is back in Australia this spring for Darley with his fee remaining at $44,000.
