First foal of brilliant Baaeed born in France

Bay filly said to be ‘doing everything right’.

Baaeed has sired his first foal with a new arrival at Haras de la Perelle in Normandy.

The Shadwell-owned superstar was trained to six successive Group One victories by William Haggas, landing the Lockinge, Queen Anne, Sussex Stakes and Juddmonte International in his four-year-old season before meeting with the only defeat of his career in the Champion Stakes.

He subsequently retired to Beech House Stud in Newmarket, having earned over GBP 2.5million in prize-money and stands there for a current fee of GBP 80,000.

His first foal is a bay filly out of Mejthaam, a well-related Exceed And Excel mare who is a half sister to Alflaila – also owned by Shadwell and trained by Owen Burrows to three Group-race successes so far.

William Rimaud, manager of Haras de la Perelle, said of the new arrival: “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.”
