SAXON Warrior (Deep Impact) was an unbeaten Group 1 star at two, a classic winner at three, and now he is making waves with his first crop of racing age.

At the weekend Saxon Warrior sired his second group winner when Lumiere Rock gained a first success at her fourth attempt, but she did so in the Group 3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh. How apt that Kirsten Rausing should sponsor the race as she too stands a son of the great Deep Impact (Sunday Silence), Study Of Man.
