According to what the Racing Post had on their web-site the day after the Irish Derby, Aidan O'Brien has decided a drop in trip for the G1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York is where Saxon Warrior will likely be pointed at next. The same race mind you that Enable is currently scheduled to make her 2018 debut in.
When i did say Saxon Warrior is a lay for Epsom Derby and then in the Irish Derby a whole lot of guys had a go at me and they did the same when I went for Merchant Navy in the Diamond Jubilee as well.Wonder what they have got to say.
SW was so dam hyped that people out there called it a beast and what not.Wonder were they see Galileo or a Frankel.The truth is he never was a free striding horse and all that he could do was take the Guineas .Wonder how many have lost a years funds on Saxon Warrior
harun hafeez am betting today in Ireland and looked at all the obrien horses all were galileo colts .it looks like a fat bastard saxon warrior I backed it in the guineas but I should never have backed it in yesterday's derby
I love racing and am from Ireland but I dont bother even watching Irish racing on the flat. Who wants to watch races with say 6 runners and 5 are O Brien runners? Its a joke. In these cases there should be a limit imposed on the amount of runners from the same yard. The races are as interesting as watching paint dry.
I think it's ok as long as they arent all the same owners I.e magnier, tabor, Smith . If there's other owners as well it's not so bad. But I agree it is a monopoly...
Aiden you are correct, most Irish two year old races like the Beresford stakes are a joke, usually in a six horse field it will be four O'Brien horse verses one Weld and Bolger horse.
When people say Saxon warrior didn't "stay", it just makes me laugh. That horse wasn't trained to win it. The door was "left opened". Your proof will come when he wins a group1 over 1m4f-mark my words ;)
Mick Mcknight he's a crook there's that many mares and blue blooded racehorses in coolmore they have to spread the glory around to other horses .now said horse wins the derby and is worth profit at stud .
I'm glad I stopped betting on Irish horse racing. I just watch and laugh at it nowadays. I love English racing. It makes so much more sense. Flat racing in Ireland stinks.
course he stays, he was even staying on in this race, just needed to have more use made of him earlier. Both derby's he is nearest at finish. its the tactics, they think they are sitting on a world beater but this is a stayer who did well to win the guineas.
Funnily enough I thought that connections might have considered dropping him back to a mile after the Derby. We may well see him next in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood, or as other people posting here have suggested, trying him over 10 furlongs. Whatever route is being mapped out for Saxon Warrior, there are plenty of opportunities for him.

GBeret83, O'Brien is now seriously considering Saxon Worrier for this Saturday's Corral Eclipse at Sandown depending on a gallop on Thursday morning.

It's a dog .I've seen dozens of these hype horses over the years ,it's a mutt .just spring fresh in may for the guineas..

Took the ew value on Rostropovich(40/1). Gutted it didn't win, but still nice enough win.

Haha, are we forgetting Mullins v Elliott?

We have a similar problem here in Australia with C Waller, D Weir and less so Godolphin

I do, I enjoy watching the best bloodline on planet Earth. Northern Dancer via Sadler's Wells and Galileo.

Im not English...
LATrobe....no! It's Latrobe as in LAHtrobe.
1066PV what does it mean anyway?
It's originally a french (family) surname so the horse has been named after a person or a place. The correct spelling is La Trobe
well done Joe
Paul Duffy daddy daddy can I win the Irish derby
Another O'Brien..Horse...Win..A..Irish..DerBy....
Saxon Warrior promised so much after his win in the 2000 Guineas, but he has been a big disappointment since.
It’s the distance he obviously doesn’t stay 12f
Elwyn Richards He's probably not progressed as much as anticipated.
course he stays, he was even staying on in this race, just needed to have more use made of him earlier. Both derby's he is nearest at finish. its the tactics, they think they are sitting on a world beater but this is a stayer who did well to win the guineas.

Elwyn Richards all the hype at Epsom ,the bastard skinned me yesterday the mule
Biggest conman in Racing is..........?
Farse
Complete farce .but not to be unexpected in Irish racing run by gangsters like the obriens we'res there's billions at stake for stud fees .
Kev Johnstone yes keV that's why I have lost all interest in flat racing O'Briens have spoilt it sorry to say
ALAN RAY the amount of times this guy has had a 123 with the favorite 3rd is more than any other trainer by miles .he's a crook ,
Kev Johnstone yes your right I hate the man he is a crock
ALAN RAY I woudnt be surprised if the Irish mafia has a 10% stake in the coolmore bloodstock industry
