A son of Winged Pegasus, a royally-bred grade one stallion who won the Hawk Cup* amongst other races and maintained a strong consistency throughout his career. Saxon is one of his first foals. Winged Pegasus is the son of Pegasus Wings and out of Deadly Desires; the full brother to Breeders' Cup winner Athena's Desires.
Out of Southern Peach, a grade one mare who placed and showed in several high profile races. Saxon is her first foal. She is the foal of Gold Storm, out of Whistlin' Dixie.
- Pegasus Wings was an incredibly talented sprinter who was induced into the Hall Of Fame at the end of his career in which he scored an incredible three Breeders' Cup titles. His foals include Breeders' Cup-placed Daring Vision; So Sassy Sprint** winner Wings Of Jayde and Breeders' Cup winner Everlasting Gift. He is a son of Royal Red Richard and out of Forbidden Wings.
- Royal Red Richard was a strong, versatile racehorse who amongst other achievements won the Breeders' Cup Classic in a career which saw 34 wins and resulted in him being inducted into the Hall Of Fame. His foals include Breeders' Cup winner Here's The King and Azalea Cup* winner Royal Assassin.
- Forbidden Wings was a G2 racehorse who won the Breeders' Cup Distaff and had a successful career as a showhorse, but her real achievement was as a broodmare - the success of her progeny resulted in her being inducted into the Breeders' Hall Of Fame. She is the dam of horses such as Breeders' Cup winner Silent Wings; HoF-inductee 3-times Breeders' Cup winner Flashy Wings; and HoF-inductee 2-times Breeders' Cup winner Forbidden To Fly.
- Deadly Desires was a talented sprinter whose many successes; including 2 Breeders' Cup wins; saw her inducted into the Hall Of Fame. Her foals include strong HoTY-runner, G1 Kismet; and HoF-inductee 2-time Breeders' Cup winner Demonic Desires. She is a daughter of Sweet Sugar Cane out of Requiem.
- Sweet Sugar Cane was a Breeders' Cup Sprint winner before retiring to the breeding shed where he began a strong line of horses which saw him inducted into the Breeders' Hall Of Fame. Amongst those foals is Sugar Jayde, a 2-times Breeders' Cup winner who was named the Y17 Broodmare Of The Year; and 2-times Breeders' Cup winner Afterglow.
- Requiem was not the strongest racehorse, only reaching Grade Four, but was an impressive broodmare who was inducted into the Breeders' Hall of Fame. Her foals include top sprinter and 2-time Breeders' Cup winner Seraphim; and 2-times Breeders' Cup Hall Of Fame inductee Nightshade.
Out of Southern Peach, a grade one mare who placed and showed in several high profile races. Saxon is her first foal. She is the foal of Gold Storm, out of Whistlin' Dixie.
- Gold Storm was not a hit on the track. In fact, the stallion only managed to reach Grade Four before his retirement. His foals, however, have had more success and include top juvenile Nirvana; strong sprinter G1 Blue Moon; and winner of 2 legs of the TSC, Gambling Fortune.
- Whistlin' Dixie was an unraced mare who went on to become an impressive broodmare. Her foals include G2 Buccaneer; and Breeders' Cup winner Dark Charmer;
Saxon is not as gentle as his parents; instead he has an aura of fierce determination and willpower. This is a colt who walks with his head held high, his dark eyes taking in the world around him, and is always thinking. While not outwardly violent he is no pushover, it takes a strong but fair hand to work with him, and if he doesn't like a person you will certainly know about it. He has to be turned out alone as he constantly pushes other horses and has a tendency to be a bit of a bully.
However, he does have a fondness for other pets. It is not uncommon to see the barn cat on his door or even to see the colt watching as it parades off.

Leg Type: Closer
Saxon is a cool presence in the parade ring, but he is already watching - weighing up his competition before they even head to the gates. He loads with ease, doesn't fuss in the chute, and breaks at an average pace when the gates finally open. Here, instead of rushing forwards the colt allows himself to drop back and survey the others, never letting the field get too far away as he bides his time before letting his savage closing speed loose in the final furlongs.
Once Saxon starts his move there is no stopping him. He has a near insurmountable desire to get his head in front, to show the other horses who is boss, and he will never forget a horse who he has lost to.
