Overseas missions for sprinter and middle-distance Group 1 winner

Champions Sprint winner Point Barrow could be aimed towards Royal Ascot in the UK next year while another Group 1 winner who raced on the final day of the Flemington carnival has a more immediate overseas target.

Sir Delius, who ran third int he Champions Stakes won by Birdman, is set to head to Hong Kong for the International meeting at Sha Tin in December with trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott weighing up the Hong Kong Cup (2000m) and the Hong Kong Vase (2400m) as the Frankel entire’s options.

Meanwhile, co-trainer Sam Freedman has ambitions to campaign Point Barrow, who won the 1200m straight-course Group 1 on Saturday, at the renowned Royal meeting in 2027.

“Form pending, and how she comes back in the autumn and her conditioning and everything like that – we’d love to think about having a crack. Whether that’s over 1000 metres or 1200 metres, we’d have to give that a bit of thought,” Freedman told Racing.com

“There’s plenty of water to go under the bridge. She’s got to go and have a break now, then come back in good shape.”
