Godolphin's Blue Point and Shadwell's Battaash were bona fide rivals on the track when notching up several top-level sprint triumphs apiece and the pair combine once more. Darley's champion sprinter and champion first-season sire is responsible for exciting newcomer Al Misbar, a colt who cost Godolphin a cool 1,500,000gns from Ballyphilip Stud at Tattersalls Book 1 last October.
The colt is the seventh foal out of Lawman mare Anna Law, a half-sister to Champagne Stakes winner Etlaala and to Bird Key, the dam of Duke of York Stakes scorer and Group 1-winning sire Tasleet.
Anna Law's two winners are both by Dark Angel and are headed by the brilliant Battaash. The ebullient gelding won 13 of his 25 starts for Charlie Hills and Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, including two Nunthorpes, the King's Stand Stakes, Prix de l'Abbaye and four King George Stakes.
