Blue Point

€60,000 B 2014 16.1HH (1.65M)
Shamardal – Scarlett Rose (Royal Applause)
Oct 1, Special Live Foal. Standing at Kildangan Stud, Co Kildare

The only European stallion since Sadler’s Wells 35 years ago to sire two first-crop juvenile G1 winners. First-season stats that have never been bettered. No freshman with 40+ winners has ever had such quality, with more Group wins and more Stakes wins than any other. What a year! A lightning-fast Royal Ascot two-year-old who won at the Breeders’ Cup, the winner of France’s top juvenile race and a 1.5 million-guinea yearling.
