Nice colt; if he has half his sister's talent, he's going to be a force to reckon with. And I love his name. :D

I think he has a cool name, too! :D

His jockey Christophe Lemaire described Vanishing Point(USA) as a big baby who had plenty of talent after the race.
After his final workout Lemaire also said (in laughing) to the trainer, ''Hey Fujisawa san, this colt runs like Almond Eye''
In fact he was changing leads repeatedly down the stretch today.

It sounds like he takes some rest now and will be back in Autumn.
One to watch!

I don't think I've ever seen a horse change leads that many times in a race. He has some talent for sure.

And his win time was only 3/10 second off to the 2yo track record.

I'd have thought it was a fine name..........but because of the dam's name (Marilyn Monroan), it IS a great name!
