"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
"maintained his unbeaten record in determined style in the influential G1 Racing Post Trophy, despite being intimidated by the hanging Roaring Lion" - Andrew Caulfield, TDN
"Saxon Warrior gave Donnacha O’Brien a first Classic success with an imperious display in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. Maintaining his unbeaten record, the Deep Impact colt had reportedly strengthened up over the winter and duly cruised to the front over a furlong out." Irish Times
