Wildcarded Blue Point Gets His Day As Book 2 Off To Strong Start At Tattersalls

NEWMARKET, UK – If Book 1 set the tone, the opening Book 2 session of the October Yearling Sale kept the market humming along nicely at Tattersalls on Monday. A healthy demand for horses sustained respectable trade, which was headed by Ballyhimikin Stud's wildcard offering by Blue Point, with the colt knocked down to Richard Brown of Blandford Bloodstock for 600,000gns. A 215,000gns foal purchase alongside Johnny McKeever here in December, the Blue Point colt represented an outstanding piece of pinhooking profit.
