Saxford was the first out of the gates for Reset's northern hemisphere debutants when he started his racing career in the Brocklesby Stakes on the first weekend of the flat turf season in Britain. The progressive gelding is clearly thriving on his racing and now has three wins to his credit culminating in a Listed victory in the Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury on Thursday.
Bred by Dubaian businessman Malih Al Basti, whose colours were borne to victory by top-class filly Nasheej in three Group races, Saxford is out of the winning Makbul mare Bint Makbul. He won on his second start in April and recently posted an impressive seven-length victory at Newcastle before successfully stepping up to Stakes company.
Saxford, who may now be heading for the G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York, is the third Stakes winner worldwide for Reset, who is the sire of G3 winner Rebel Raider and Listed scorer Likefatherlikeson in Australia.
