Baaeed to bow out in Champion Stakes at Ascot

Arc run ruled out for William Haggas-trained star.

William Haggas has announced Baaeed will have his final outing in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot rather than the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Following a stunning display on his first start over 10 furlongs in the Juddmonte International at York, connections indicated they might consider supplementing him for the 12-furlong French feature on October 2.

However, following discussions between Haggas and owner Shadwell, it has been decided Baaeed will sign off his career closer to home next month.

“After much consultation with Sheika Hissa and her team, we have decided that Baaeed’s final start will be in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 15,” said Haggas.
