AAfter consultations with Jean-Claude Rouget and the partners, we have come to the difficult decision to retire Almanzor,@ said Vidal. AWe came into the year with great hopes and expectations for a successful campaign culminating in glory in the [G1 Prix de l=]Arc de Triomphe.

Agent Kerri Radcliffe, standing with her husband Jeremy Noseda and the operation=s retained jockey Gerald Mosse, held her nerve against some stiff competition from Shadwell=s Angus Gold to ensure that Haras de la Perelle=s stunning colt (lot 160) would be joining the string of the investors that have kept her busy at sales across Europe and America in the last year. AI thought he was the nicest colt in the sale, by Dubawi out of a Group 1 winner. He=s going to be trained by Andre Fabre,@ she said just after her purchase had left the ring to a round of applause. The colt is the second foal of Giofra, who is herself a daughter of the Group 3 winner Gracefully (Fr) (Orpen).

  • Saxon Warrior’S Pedigree
    036_OctNov19_SaxonWarrior.qxp_Layout 1 23/10/19 11:48 am Page 36 October/November 2019 36 STUD NEWS by Kristen Manning BREEDING GIANTS dominate Saxon Warrior’s pedigree EEP Impact, Galileo (IRE) and Danehill (USA) are three of the true heavyweights Dof international breeding. They have sired a total of 793 stakes winners, 213 of those Gr.1 winners, and in James Bester’s words they are “the three Colossi that bestride the world of turf”. As indicated by their impressive strike rates; Deep Impact’s winners-to-runners ratio is sitting on an outstanding 74.8% with 10.5% stakes winners; Galileo 68.4% and 14.5%, Danehill 77.2% and 17.9%. Now that is influence. “Being a son of Sunday Silence (Halo), Deep Impact represents the most influential dynasty in Japanese racing and breeding history,” Bester said. “While Sadler’s Wells and his son Galileo are the most influential sire/son combination in European racing and breeding history. And it follows that Danzig and son Danehill have been the most influential force in the history of Australian racing and breeding.” Which is what makes the pedigree of Coolmore Stud’s new shuttler Saxon Warrior (JPN) so exciting. His sire is Deep Impact, his dam Maybe is by Galileo and his second dam Sumora is by Danehill. There are no weak links in the breeding of this horse who also has family, performance and type on his side. The winner of four of his nine starts for the Aidan O’Brien stable, Saxon Warrior hit the ground running, swamping his rivals from the rear in a maiden mile at the Curragh in August 2017.

Thornton The Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council (EDRC), which RACEHORSE serves as an advisory board to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC), advanced a Dec. 1 recommendation to that full board that would require any horse who receives clenbuterol to be restricted via the veterinarian's list for 21 days and then test clear of that substance prior to being removed from the list and allowed to compete.

  • Saxon Warrior
    Saxon Warrior For good reason, Deep Impact has been described as the Japanese equivalent of Galileo. The 2005 Japanese Triple Crown winner is heading for a ninth straight sires’ championship in 2020, while Galileo has secured his 12th championship in 13 years. Their equally extraordinary sires, Sunday Silence and Sadler’s Wells, both notched up 14 sires’ championships. The combination of Deep Impact and Galileo clearly has the potential to be something special. Its star representative is the classic-winning Saxon Warrior, a colt whose dam Maybe represents the exceptional Galileo-Danehill cross responsible for Frankel, Teofilo, Intello, Japan, Highland Reel and numerous other Gr.1 winners. Unbeaten as a 2yo, Saxon Warrior landed the Gr.2 Beresford Stakes before his victory over Roaring Lion in the Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy. He extended his winning sequence to four when he defeated the likes of Masar and Roaring Lion in the 2,000 Guineas. Although all his wins were gained over a mile, Saxon Warrior went on feature in several top middle-distance races, notably finishing a close third in the Irish Derby and a neck second in both the Eclipse and the Irish Champion Stakes. Deep Impact has enjoyed tremendous success with daughters of STORM CAT, with this partnership producing eight Gr.1 winners, including the Prix du Jockey-Club winner Study of Man and the 2019 Japanese Oaks winner Loves Only You. He also sired the French classic winner Beauty Parlour from a mare by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY. This suggests that Saxon Warrior will shine with mares by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY, SHAMARDAL, FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND and LOPE DE VEGA.
