Saxon Warrior filly from Cat's Wish

Among the first to arrive at Coolmore is this lovely filly from metropolitan winner Cat’s Wish, who comes from the family of Group I MRC Blue Diamond winner Catchy.


An undefeated Group I winning juvenile and a classic winner at three of the Group I English 2,000 Guineas, Saxon Warrior is the only son of Japanese sire sensation Deep Impact standing in the Hunter Valley this spring.

Deep Impact has been in the news this week siring three Australian bred winners in Miss Japan, Reaching and the undefeated colt Bucharest, read about them here.

Backed up by a superb female family being from Galileo’s Champion 2YO Filly Maybe, Saxon Warrior represents the world’s best bloodlines and has let down impressively into an eye-catching stallion.
