Baaeed is miles ahead of rivals

BAAEED presented compelling evidence he is the best miler since the mighty Frankel with a routine win in the Group One Lockinge Stakes at New bury, writes Marcus Townend.

The William Haggastrained colt, who is now unbeaten in seven career runs, had gears to spare as he eased home by three-and-aquarter lengths ahead of Real World in the hands of jockey Jim Crowley.

Haggas said of his 4-9 favourite: ‘I would not go as far as to say he is the best horse in the world — that is the sort of thing others might say — but it was a strongish field and he did very well.’
