Description

SAXON BLOOD

3yo Bay Gelding by SAXON WARRIOR out of RACINE

• A last out second-place finisher by the narrowest of margins (0.06L), SAXON BLOOD offers plenty of racing upside for his new owners.

• This 3yo gelding by SAXON WARRIOR has been given every opportunity to grow and develop into a lovely horse.

• SAXON WARRIOR was an unbeaten G1 winning 2yo in Europe and a brilliant Guineas winner as a 3yo. He has sired a G1 winner in VICTORIA ROAD, and he operates at almost 7% stakes horses to runners in Australia.

• SAXON BLOOD’S dam RACINE (Kingman) is a half-sister to two listed winners in FIRST INSTINCT (Bated Breath) and VARIABLE (Sea The Stars).

• There are multiple superstar performers found in SAXON BLOOD’S impressive pedigree, including - PROPORTIONAL (Beat Hollow), who was Champion 2yo Filly in France and won the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac; a third-place runner in the G1 Irish One Thousand Guineas in VOTE OFTEN (Beat Hollow), and G1 Woodbine EP Taylor Stakes winner FOLK OPERA (Singspiel). Closer to Australia, the superstar 2023-2024 Hong Kong Horse of the Year, the x3 Champion Middle Distance Horse in Hong Kong, and the Champion 4yo in Hong Kong, ROMANTIC WARRIOR (Acclamation) can be found.

• SAXON BLOOD’s owners have decided to move him on as they prefer to be racing stakes class horses and would like to make way for their younger stock coming through. We are more than confident that he has the ability to break his maiden, earn some prize money and make his way through the grades for his new owners.

• SAXON BLOOD retains plenty of residual fitness, having last raced on April 27th and has since been spelling for approximately one week.

• Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no responsibility after the sale and suggest you undertake independent vetting prior to auction completion if you so require.
