AIDAN O’Brien has dominated the Group 2 Juddmonte Beresford Stakes and last year won it with Capri, the subsequent Group 1 Irish Derby and English St Leger winner. Nine years ago John Oxx sent out Sea The Stars to win and he went on the following year to conquer the racing world.

This year’s winner Saxon Warrior has the potential, and the pedigree, to go on and become an equine superstar. He is by one of the world’s most successful stallions in Deep Impact, is out of a champion and Group 1 winning daughter of the world’s best sire in Galileo (Sadler’s Wells), and his stakes winning grandam is a Danehill (Danzig) three-parts sister to the dual classic winner Dancing Rain (Danehill Dancer).
