The Derby: Saxon Warrior

Saxon Warrior is the favorite to win the Epsom Derby on Saturday. The winner of the race could be worth up to $66.6 million. If he wins, he will be the first horse since Nijinsky in 1970 to become the only horse to have won the Triple Crown in British racing. A successful career at stud is dependent on the success of a horse. The winning post at the Derby determines the future of thoroughbreds. So far this century, horses have gone to stud with fees ranging from 8,000 euros to 85,00 euros. They usually have the winning Derby win on their CV.

Auguste Rodin: they don't make Derby winners like that anymore

Six days before the Derby at Epsom, the Japanese version was run the previous weekend but this year there was something that had become very familiar missing from the line-up at Tokyo - a runner sired by Deep Impact.
