Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 27, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 27, 2018 Aidan O’Brien plans to wait for another ten days before making a decision on whether Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) will tackle the G1 QIPCO Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown Sept. 15. The colt has not won since impressing in the G1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in May and was one of a number of horses that got affected by a virus in Ballydoyle this summer. He had his first start since that setback when fourth in the G1 Juddmonte International over ten furlongs at York last week. “He was very sick after [the Eclipse at] Sandown. We had it in our mind if we got him back he’d go to York and then come back to Leopardstown and then we might go back to a mile [for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes] at Ascot,” said O’Brien. “The thing is now whether we give him another go at a mile and a quarter, because he was very sick and you’d have to say that he could come on a good bit from it. We’ll decide in the next 10 days,” he added. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
