The Platinum Jubilee Royal Ascot 2022 got off to the perfect start as Shadwell's Baaeed (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}–Aghareed, by Kingmambo) carried on his winning streak in the G1 Queen Anne S. Always comfortable tracking the G1 Lockinge S. runner-up Real World (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) up the centre under Jim Crowley, the 1-6 favourite swooped on that rival with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and was soon in command. Ridden out to maintain safe distance as the Godolphin runner stayed in contention, the bay had 1 3/4 lengths to spare at the line as they pulled clear of Order of Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}).
