Dirty scope: Blue Point misses Curragh

Godolphin’s Blue Point has been ruled out of Sunday’s G1 Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh, the big sprint on the second day of Irish Champions’ Weekend.

The Shamardal colt returned a dirty scope this morning, which has placed him on the ‘easy’ list.

Trainer Charlie Appleby said: “He scoped dirty, which is unfortunate, but we look ahead now to British Champions Day at Ascot (on Saturday, 20 October), where he has an entry in the G1 Sprint, over six furlongs.”
