"I went for a 25 mile run the night before so that i could sleep"

The excitement is building as Baaeed bids to make it 10 from 10 at York. The Juddmonte International represents the first time the unbeaten Shadwell-homebred has stepped up to 1m2½f – the same race Frankel stepped up in trip – and the QIPCO British Champions Series spoke with the team behind the 5-time Group 1 winner to find out more.

Sheikha Hissa further reflected, “Sea The Stars leaves a mark on his foals and Baaeed takes a lot of his temperament and how he is from him, but I’m glad he looks like his mum Aghareed. My father would have loved him, as homebreds always gave him special pride, especially from the Nashwan family.

“Last year I was very afraid every time he went to the racecourse, but I don’t know when I’ll next see a horse like him, so I’m trying just to enjoy the process. He proved he is a great horse at a mile and he’s bred for stepping up, so he should be fine technically.

“I hope he ends on a good note and stays undefeated, but it’s just a pleasure to have him. No matter what happens, he’s a great horse for us.”
