Midfield, headway halfway, switched right 2f out, pushed along to challenge over 1f out, soon led, ridden and quickened clear inside final furlong, eased towards finish, impressive While commentators were still having a difference of opinion over the pronunciation of the unusually named son of Sea The Stars, this prediction from Ennis would prove to be bang on. Jim Crowley was in action for Shadwell at the royal meeting, failing to land a blow on four rides while O'Neill helped Baaeed justify 4-6 favouritism in the mile novice, just 12 days after his debut success.īaaeed pulled seven and a half lengths clear of a last-time-out Godolphin winner Komachi causing commentator Tony Ennis to exclaim: "This is impressive, this is Baaeed, look at him go. With most of the racing public's attention on the final day of Royal Ascot, Baaeed delivered a hugely impressive performance on his first race at Newmarket. Our analyst Andrew Sheret wrote: "It's not stretching it to say he's a smart prospect." He was right there.ĮBF Novice Stakes, Newmarket (June 19, 2021) I remember speaking to jockey Dane O'Neill after his interview on Racing TV, who despite having not ridden Baaeed at home before his debut, left me in no doubt he was held in high regard by the Haggas team. The superstar-to-be was slowly away from a wide draw and had plenty to do in the home straight but finished to great effect to win pretty cosily. That would be an almighty fib, sadly.īaaeed, who looked a particularly well-built colt in the winner's enclosure, did make an impression on me, however, and thankfully – to spare my own blushes – I did afford the debut winner a three-par mention in my report. I would like to say I left Leicester on June 7 last year thinking I had seen the world's next best horse in the making. Slowly away, towards rear of midfield, pushed along under 3f out, ridden and still plenty to do over 1f out, ran on well final furlong, led towards finish, cosily He's from a family that has done Shadwell proud in the past and has a nice way about him." The length-and-a-quarter victory was the first time O'Neill had sat on Baaeed with the jockey saying: "William likes him and his work had been good. Although Baaeed had to be driven along in tenth at the three-furlong pole, he displayed an impressive turn of foot to scoop up the modest £4,886.99 prize. Not having been seen as two-year-old, Baaeed was 6-1 for his racecourse debut on a Monday afternoon at Leicester in a 14-runner mile maiden, three times bigger in the betting than the next longest price in his career.īaaeed was last to break under Dane O'Neill but made up ground quickly, looking a smooth traveller.

Already ranked the world's best racehorse this year, Baaeed's devastating victory in York's Juddmonte International elevated him into the company of such greats as Frankel and his father Sea The Stars.Ĭoming little more than 1 4 months after his debut success at Leicester, it has been a rapid rise to the top.
