“This is a colt with an array of weapons, having a top notch cruising speed, the turn of foot to separate himself, the stamina to operate over longer distances and, notably, the kind of pack-dominating tenacity that will ensure he makes the most of his physical gifts.”James Willoughby, Thoroughbred Racing Commentary

• At 3: WON Gr.1 2,000 Guineas defeating Masar, Roaring Lion, Expert Eye etc.
• At 2: WON Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy defeating Roaring Lion
• At 2: WON Gr.2 Beresford Stakes by 2½ lengths

Defeated Horse Of The Year Roaring Lion every time they met over a mile!

"I think it only pays an enormous compliment to Saxon Warrior, who beat us a neck in the Racing Post Trophy at ‘Donny’ and was imperious in the Guineas" John Gosden following Roaring Lion’s Dante Stakes success
