Saxon Warrior will command a fee of A$24,750 and Mendelssohn is priced at A$17,600. Both are standing their first Northern Hemisphere seasons at Coolmore Ireland and Ashford Stud, respectively. Also a winner of the G1 Racing Post Trophy and G2 Beresford S. as a juvenile, Saxon Warrior is a son of Irish highweight juvenile filly and G1 Moyglare Stud S. victress Maybe, who also ran third in the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas in 2013. A $3-million KEESEP sale-topping yearling, Mendelssohn is a half-brother to multiple Eclipse champion and MGISW Beholder (Henny Hughes), as well GI CashCall Futurity S. hero and successful sire Into Mischief (Harlan’s Holiday). “Saxon Warrior and Mendelssohn combine Group 1 winning excellence at two with remarkable performances at three,” said Paddy Oman, Coolmore Australia Sales & Nominations. “They are both by exceptional sires, have stallions’ pedigrees and will suit the Australian broodmare population. They’re two very exciting prospects and offer Australian breeders the best of international form and bloodlines.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
