Description

Great pinhook or racing opportunity. Correct, good looking Saxon Warrior weanling colt, out of a winning mare that has had 2 from 2 to race, in Victoria and Qld, with Under the Palais saluting first up in Geelong in the last on 30/6. He is bred on a 20/20 G1 Goldmine cross through the Deep Impact sire Saxon Warrior, himself an unbeaten Group 1 winner at 2, who also went on to win the 2000 Guineas at 3. As a sire Saxon Warrior already had a Group 1 winner with his first crop in the Nthn Hemisphere, Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf winner Victoria Road. A low reserve of $5k has been put on, which is an opportunity at significant value for this colt.
