Do you see Saxon Warrior as a Triple Crown hero or is it too early for such chat?
Jockey Paul Mulrennan It’s too early to tell but with Aidan O’Brien training him anything is possible. I was very impressed with Saxon Warrior and the way he quickened. He looks to have it all, he travels well and stays well.
Trainer John Quinn He looks an exceptional colt and to quicken up as he did over a mile with all the stamina in his pedigree makes him the real deal. Nothing else has come out who looks as good as him – he deserves to be favourite for the Derby and he could well get the St Leger trip.
Qatar racing adviser David Redvers I see him as by far the most likely Epsom Derby winner as he has stacks of potential, but whether there is enough stamina on his dam’s side might be open to question and I would be far from certain he’ll turn out to be a Leger horse. However, it’s a nice problem to have.
