Sunday's G1 Prix Rothschild saw the same one-two as the Falmouth, but it was a lot closer between Blue Bolt (Blue Point) and Precise (Starspangledbanner) at the end of the Deauville feature.Unbeaten in 2026, Juddmonte's 1-2 favourite who also captured Royal Ascot's Duke of Cambridge Stakes drifted left and ended up on the stands' rail but had enough to deny the Ballydoyle filly by half a length. The early leader Moon Target (Cracksman) was a further 1 3/4 lengths back in third.“It wasn't very comfortable watching, but Colin's judged it perfectly,” Andrew Balding said. “She's a powerful traveller with great strength and great desire. She's effective on any ground, which is a big help. We always felt that Leopardstown was her race and afterwards, who knows?”Dug deep!
