The recent form paints a picture of a horse finding its feet. In the six races leading up to the Wexford win, Game Point picked up three third-place finishes and a second, alongside a couple of weaker efforts. That mix of consistency without quite getting there, followed by a victory, suggests the horse is learning where it belongs. Trainer R P Cody, based at Dunnamaggin in County Kilkenny, has sent out 6 winners this season from a modest yard, so the addition of Game Point to that tally is a welcome one.
Interestingly, the horse has been ridden regularly by Colin Keane — eight times in fact — without a win, which raises the question of whether that partnership simply hasn't clicked, or whether the horse was simply taking time to mature into its best form. The breakthrough came this week, which means Game Point is actively racing and still improving. For a 4-year-old that has taken this long to get off the mark, winning where it has shown natural aptitude — at long distances — suggests there may be more wins to come, provided the yard can keep it heading to races that suit its profile.
