Well-Related Saxon Warrior Colt Captures First Win

Aurelianus (2c Saxon Warrior - Kitty Matcham, by Rock Of Gibraltar) got off the mark with a comfortable victory at Naples on Saturday.

The Endo Botti-trained juvenile came home two and a quarter lengths clear of his rivals, with a further four lengths back to the third-placed runner.

By Saxon Warrior, Aurelianus is the eighth winner out of Group 2 Rockfel Stakes winner Kitty Matcham, a half-sister to Group 1 scorers Horatio Nelson and Van Gogh (by American Pharoah) and a full-sister to the Group 1-placed Red Rock Canyon. They are out of Epsom Oaks and Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Imagine.

Aurelianus was bred by Barronstown Stud.
