WATCH - we visited Highclere Stud over the summer to speak to Jake Warren about his 'cracking' colt out of Bonhomie.

WATCH - Oliver St Lawrence took us through his thoughts on Baaeed and the foals out of Waliyak, Daahyeh and Bint Huwaar.

If you follow us on our social media channels you may have seen Baaeed's first foal features...

WATCH - we took a trip to Old Mill Stud, where Rob Speers told us about the Baaeed filly which they 'absolutely adore'.

 “This Baaeed filly is an exceptional foal. She has size, strength and substance, is correct and moves effortlessly. There is tonnes of class and quality. We couldn’t be happier.” - Mike Ryan on his filly out of Kamakura

"I am delighted we have an exceptionally attractive Baaeed colt, with striking features, great quality and presence, out of Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf winner, Queen's Trust." - Chris Richardson on the colt out of Queen's Trust bred by Cheveley Park Stud Limited.

 “We have a very nice colt, he is well put together, balanced with a lot of quality. He has been stamped by Baaeed. We are very happy and have used him again this year.” - Nicolas de Chambure on the colt out of Koubalibre bred by Sarl de Chambure et al.

“I am delighted with Cloudy Dawn’s Baaeed filly, who is a strong, well-made foal with lots of depth and good bone,” James Wigan on his filly out of Cloudy Dawn.

“This is a high-quality filly from an iconic family, she has plenty of size and scope with loads of presence. We are delighted with her and the mare is booked in to revisit him.” - Adrian O'Brien on the filly out of Ragsah bred by Essafinaat UK

“He is a lovely, strong colt, probably the best the mare has had,” said Sara Cumani. “We couldn't be happier with him at this early stage.” - Sara Cumani on the colt out of Baisse bred by Imperium Syndicate Ltd

“Our filly is full of quality, strong, correct and a good size, we are very pleased with her.” - Henri Bozo on the filly out of Think Of Me bred by Clear Light SAS.

The saying goes 'they are not just any first crop of foals, they are Baaeed's first foals'.... 

After much anticipation, the honour of having the first foal by Baaeed was Haras de la Perrelle in Normandy, a filly purchased in utero, out of Mejthaam a winning sister to Shadwell's dual Gr.2 winner Alflaila. 

William Rimaud, manager of the French operation, said: “We are delighted with her. She is a strong, good-sized foal, full of energy and has a great temperament. She is doing everything right. It is very exciting to have had the first foal of the brilliant champion Baaeed.”

Having the first foal of any stallion is exciting for all concerned, but to have the first Baaeed is something Haras de la Perrelle will hope to be able to brag about for a long time.

You don't forget racehorses like Baaeed. Unbeaten in his first ten starts, his remarkable career included six sublime Group 1 victories, five over a mile before a breathtaking performance over a mile and a quarter. His pedigree and performance allied with the quality of his first two books make him one of the most exciting stallion prospects of the modern era.

His résumé included:

• Gr.1 Prix du Moulin (1m)
• Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (1m)
• Gr.1 Lockinge Stakes (1m)
• Gr.1 Queen Anne Stakes (1m)
• Gr.1 Sussex Stakes (1m)
• Gr.1 Juddmonte International Stakes  (1m2f)

In all Baaeed defeated 19 individual Gr.1 winners of 45 Gr.1 races

He is a World Champion and has been supported by the world’s leading breeders in his first two seasons at stud.
