Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 2, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 2, 2018 G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas hero Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), who ran third in Saturday’s G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, will likely cut back to 10 furlongs in the G1 Juddmonte International at York on Aug. 22. The Sept. 15 G1 Irish Champion S. is also on the agenda later in the season trainer Aiden O’Brien revealed of the G1 Investec Derby fourth. “He’s good, not a bother on him,” said O’Brien. “He’ll have a little rest now and he’ll come back and be trained for the mile and a quarter races at York [Juddmonte International] and Leopardstown. That’s the plan.” Jockey Ryan Moore was in agreement that the shorter trip should suit Saxon Warrior. He told At The Races, “I’d have to say it was an improved run on Epsom. It’s disappointing he’s been beat twice since the Guineas, where he was so good, but I’d like to think he’ll be better when he comes down in trip.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
