Frankel colt Point of Law raced greenly at Royal Ascot when fourth in the Group II Queen’s Vase, but took benefit from the run and overnight came out to win the Group III Bahrain Trophy Stakes (1m5f) at Newmarket.
Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Point of Law ran the trip right out for James Doyle to score by half a lengths and has now won two of four starts all of them coming this year.
“He didn't have a clean run at Ascot and was very green against Del Maro first time out, so it was nice to see him on top of them today, said Racing Manager John Warren.
“He put his head in the right place and stayed on really nicely. I would have thought one of the options that has to be considered is the St Leger (G1).
“What John [Gosden] flags up before then we will obviously discuss, but he's a lovely horse. He is big and raw with a future in front of him.”
James Doyle believes he is a work in progress with much more to come.
Bred by King Charles III, Point of Law is a third generation product of the Royal Studs with both his dam and grand-dam bred by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
He is the first winner for stakes-placed Deep Impact mare Portfolio, a daughter of stakes-winning Dubawi mare Diploma with third dam Enticement also a stakes-winner that was raced by The Queen, but purchased as a yearling from Tattersalls October Book 1 by John Warren Bloodstock.
Point of Law is the 187th stakes-winner for champion sire Frankel.
