Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 6, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 6, 2018 Having come so close to landing the Triple Crown with Camelot (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) in 2012 it looks like Aidan O’Brien and his colleagues will try to put that matter straight with Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}). With such a stout pedigree on both sides – Deep Imact won over two miles while his dame Maybe (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) ran in the Oaks – one could argue that Saxon Warrior has already won the most difficult leg of the trio when proving too classy for his rivals in the G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas on Saturday. When asked at Newmarket on Sunday if the Triple Crown would be an objective Aidan O’Brien said, “I would say that would be something. If everything went well in the Derby I would presume that’s what the lads would love to do.” Following his success under Donnacha O’Brien on Saturday Saxon Warrior was promoted to even money favourite for the G1 Investec Epsom Derby June 2 and should he emerge from that race victorious, the final leg of the Triple Crown would be the G1 St Leger over one mile and six furlongs at Doncaster in September.
