Baaeed - Simon Rowlands on his extraordinary sectionals
06.11.2023
"His 23.10s for the final quarter of a mile was the fastest by 0.25s (about one and a half lengths) of any horse, of any age, at any distance, during 2022 Royal Ascot."
It is no small distinction to be recognised officially as the best European racehorse in the post-Frankel era, but that is the honour accorded to Baaeed, and it is not even a close-run thing.
