The Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s Goldolphin stable celebrated, on Thursday, an impressive win as Blue Point finished first in the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in England.
“I’ve never lost faith in this horse. From his two-year-old days, he showed such supreme natural speed,” The English Trainer, Charlie Appleby, said of Blue Point. However, this isn’t the first victory for the Goldolphin stable as the Norwegian William Buick’s Masar has won the Investec Derby at Epsom earlier this month.
Royal Ascot is one of the world’s biggest horse races. The Dubai ruler was joined by his wife, HRH Princess Haya, son Sheikh Hamdan, and 10-year-old daughter Sheikha Al Jalila. Moreover, Queen Elizabeth II and Duchess of Sussex have attended the event.
