First Group success for Shamardal's speedy son Blue Point

Blue Point ran out the emphatic three-length winner of the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York on Saturday.

The Charlie Appleby-trained colt was settled behind the leaders in the early stages of the race before making his move two furlongs from home.

It was in the final furlong were the juvenile - a close second in the Richmond Stakes last time out - asserted his dominance before pulling clear to notch his first success at Group level.
