Point rounds off great day for team Ballydoyle

Red Rocks Point rounded off a great day for team Ballydoyle as he took the last at Killarney, the Ladbrokes Race.

Joseph O’Brien, who of course won the Group One Juddmonte International Stakes on Australia at York this afternoon, made the dash across the Irish Sea along with his father Aidan to make it to Killarney this evening.

Red Rocks Point, who is now three from four, was sent off the 4/7 favourite for this mile and three furlong contest.

Having raced in fourth the three-year-old son of Fastnet Rock improved into third turning into the straight and was pushed along from two furlongs out.

He was ridden over a furlong from home and he soon hit the front, going on from there to score by two lengths. Zafayan finished second under Pat Smullen for Dermot Weld at 7/1 while Cosmic Cannonball was a disappointing fourth under Kevin Manning for Jim Bolger at 5/2.

Aidan O'Brien said afterwards: "He has plenty of ability and it was better riding him that way, taking time with him suits him better.

"We will probably step him up to stakes company somewhere."
