Baaeed Pounces For QEII Glory At Ascot

Unbeaten in five prior starts heading into Saturday's G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. at Ascot, Shadwell Estate Company's Baaeed (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) fought back a stellar field in the one-mile Breeders' Cup “Win And You're In” contest to stay perfect with a commanding performance over the track's straight mile. Backing up a Leicester maiden win and a 7 1/2-length novice rout at Newmarket in June, he went three-for-three with a four-length tally in the July 8 Listed Sir Henry Cecil S. back at Headquarters before producing an explosive display in Goodwood's July 30 G3 Thoroughbred S., winning by daylight once more. The homebred bay went postward for this date with destiny coming back off a career high in ParisLongchamp's Sept. 5 G1 Prix du Moulin, but was usurped for favouritism in the betting by the year-older five-time Group 1 victor Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}). Baaeed was sharply into stride alongside a host of rivals and was eased back from a prominent early position to race several lengths off the tempo in sixth through halfway. Inching closer on the bridle to loom large soon after passing the quarter-mile marker, the 2-1 second choice joined Palace Pier and reigning champion The Revenant (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) approaching the final furlong and was driven out once gaining an edge to hold the rallying cry of his chief rival by neck. The Revenant paid for his attempt to match the front two in the closing stages and was collared for third nearing the line with the running-on Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) concluding her career by finishing 1 1/4 lengths adrift of the protagonists.

“I think Jim [Crowley]'s words were that he coped with the ground, rather than loved it, and he's beaten the best miler in Europe,” said trainer William Haggas. “What can I say? He's done it and I'm thrilled to bits, but shaking a lot. I watched it, I was walking around a bit and trying to get up to my 10,000 steps a day.”

Fresh off a victory with Eshaada (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) in the G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares, Crowley added, “I think Baaeed could be a World Champion. He's just a beast, he keeps getting better and it was magical. He's come such a long way in a short space of time and it's a great buzz to ride a horse that good. He was a little bit fresh in my hands because I didn't have any cover, but he was really tough. It was a great race and I thought the first couple of furlongs were sensible enough. Then, from four down, the pace was just relentless, which I thought really suited my lad, and I'm pretty sure he would stay further if he had to. He's got a great mind and there doesn't seem to be any chinks in his armour. He travels so well, the stronger they go in a race the better for him, and he's got a very good turn of foot as well. William [Haggas] has done a fantastic job with him. He probably wasn't 100% going into France and he got the job done, so it was nice to bring him here in tip-top condition. The ground was a bit slow for him and on quicker ground I think he would pick up better, but he's a proper champion. I know Sheikh Hamdan will be looking down, smiling, and I owe him everything. He gave me this opportunity, he chose me to be his jockey and although he's not here to see it, it's nice to be able to repay him.”

“Sheikh Hamdan would have loved this,” insisted Shadwell's racing manager Angus Gold. “It is a great day for the team and his family as he marks his legacy the year he died. One Group 1 winner is enough, but to have two on the big day is very special. Baaeed has shown so much and, no disrespect to his previous opponents, he had never beaten a horse of Palace Pier's class before. It is just very exciting and what a fantastic horse race. Baaeed only started his career in June and it was so exciting to see those two punching away at the end of the year. Baaeed had a proper fight on his hands and he proved up for it. I'm amazed how much speed he has, he stays and has a fantastic attitude. This is a stallion-making race, which is very important for the operation, Sheikha Hissa and her family going forward. That's important for them for the breeding and it's also great to have Eshaada winning a Group 1 too.

Looking ahead to the future, Gold added, “He hasn't had a hard life so far, he has done what has been asked of him the whole way through and I can't see why he wouldn't go on next year. He's done everything we could possibly ask him, we need him as a stallion and he doesn't have to prove himself by going to the Breeders' Cup [meeting]. The plan always was to see him run again next year and I imagined he would be better over a mile-and-a-quarter, but I'm eating my own words now. Sheikh Hamdan's family are very keen to take it on and Sheikha Hissa is very keen. Obviously, it was a huge operation and I think they just felt we needed to trim it, which is perfectly understandable. We have a lot of horses in the sales over the next six weeks and we'll see what we're left with. We'll hope to keep the best ones and we'll have some yearlings to come into training next year. Compared to most owners, it would be fairly sizeable.”

While Baaeed is set to continue on the track, John Gosden indicated Palace Pier is headed to the breeding shed after Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum's 4-year-old suffered the second reversal of an 11-race career. “Frankie [Dettori] said it was a slowly run race and I think if he rode it again he would have committed sooner rather than spending his time looking round,” revealed the trainer. “I think he should have committed earlier because this horse stays a mile well. The winner is a nice horse, but ridden again I think we would have been a little bolder. It's likely that Palace Pier will go to stud now. He's a fabulous horse and he's good-looking. He has run with consistency in Group 1 races throughout his career and I think he will be an exciting horse to go to stud.”

Lady Bowthorpe came oh so close to producing a fairytale ending to her career and ran on with gusto in the dying embers to snatch third nearing the line. She has carried the standard, with aplomb, for William Jarvis's Newmarket stable and this year's G1 Nassau S. heroine heads to the breeding shed on a high. “That effort just shows what a great mare she is and I'm thrilled. I'm also very sad to see her go, she owes us nothing and we are so very lucky to have had her. It's a great story, ending in her putting up a career-best effort against the best two milers in the world. I have a good idea where she will go and, let me say, it will be a quite expensive mating.”

Owner Emma Banks continued, “I can't put it into words how proud I am. She's been such a trooper and if she can deliver [in the paddocks] what she's delivered on the track how special is that going to be? She's won some nice prizemoney so she gets to have a nice husband. I don't know who yet, but we can afford a nice one.”

Baaeed is the fifth of eight foals and one of three scorers out of Listed Prix de Liancourt victrix Aghareed (Kingmambo), herself a daughter of MGISW US champion Lahudood (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}). Lahudood, in turn, is a granddaughter of Listed Cheshire Oaks runner-up Bashayer (Mr. Prospector), herself one of seven black-type performers out of MGSW blue hen Height of Fashion (Fr) (Bustino {GB}). Bashayer, runner-up in the Listed Cheshire Oaks, is a full-sister to dual stakes victrix Sarayir, herself the dam of three stakes winners headed by the G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Coronation S. heroine Ghanaati (Giant's Causeway). Wijdan, another full-sister to Bashayer, ran second in the Listed Pretty Polly S. and is the dam of GII New York S. winner Makderah (Ire) (Danehill) and G2 Premio Ribot victrix Oriental Fashion (Ire) (Marju {Ire}). Bashayer is also kin to five black-type winners headed by MG1SW sires Nashwan (Blushing Groom {Fr}) and Nayef (Gulch). Baaeed is a full-brother to MGSW G3 Cumberland Lodge winner Hukum (Ire) and a half to the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Zaghaareed (GB) (Intello {Ger}), a yearling colt by Nathaniel (Ire) and a weanling colt by Night of Thunder (Ire).

Dubawi’s Creative Force In Control In The Sprint

Godolphin's G3 Jersey S. hero Creative Force (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) had failed to strike in three outings since registering that June 19 Royal Ascot triumph and went postward for Saturday's G1 British Champions Sprint back at the Berskhire venue coming off a three-length sixth in last month's G1 Sprint Cup at Haydock. Notable as Charlie Appleby's first Champions Day contender, he kept jockey William Buick's jockeys' championship hopes alive with a decisive victory in the six-furlong dash. The €400,000 Goffs Orby yearling had sealed a run of four straight wins in the Jersey and has since run fifth in Newmarket's July 10 G1 July Cup and second contesting Goodwood's July 27 G2 Lennox S. in his penultimate start. The eventual winner was positioned sixth within range of the leaders through the early fractions until making a manoeuvre to slipstream the pacesetting Glen Shiel (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) at the quarter-mile marker. Easing out of that rival's wake to seize control approaching the final furlong, the 11-2 chance was not for catching thereafter and was ridden out in the closing stages to hit the line with a one-length advantage as low-drawn runners dominated. Shadwell's Minzaal (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) closed late to finish a length behind Glen Shiel in third while King Power Racing's 3-1 favourite Art Power (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) was compromised by his stands' side drawn and ran on strongly to fail by head for third.

“I'm delighted, it's a great team result, it's been a great season and this lad deserves it,” beamed trainer Charlie Appleby after marching to the cusp of a first trainers' championship. “James Doyle felt he was a sprinter earlier this season and I was confident with this horse after Haydock, where the ground was too fast for him. I'm delighted for the horse because he has been on the go all year. He was out at the Craven Meeting and rose through the ranks and came here to win the Jersey at the Royal meeting. We've been lucky with the likes of Blue Point at this level and this guy can travel for fun. William [Buick] was confident riding him and he has won over seven furlongs here, so he wasn't going to stop. This was my first runner at Champions Day, it's a fantastic crowd and the sun is shining down. It's soft ground and that is what we expect at this time of year, but it is not dead ground as they are going through it. Creative Force is a typical Dubawi who should get better with age and the sprint division is there for someone to take the mantle next year. We've been looking for a new star sprinter since Blue Point was retired and this horse can be a fun horse for the next year or two. There's a hole there to be filled and I think he is a young enough horse to do that.”

“Creative Force won the Jersey here and goes through that ground, which is a big help, and he really did deserve it,” said rider William Buick, who would ultimately finish two winners shy of sharing the jockeys' championship with Oisin Murphy. “The ground was very fast and he stumbled out of the stalls at Haydock. It's game over if you stumble out of the stalls in a six-furlong Group 1, but he did get himself back into it and he ran well. Today's race worked out perfectly as we had a nice draw and I liked the look of it. It worked out how I wanted it to and he was in good form going into it. He certainly deserved it, but we thought it was a good chance for him to show his best today. There were a lot of runners and they all turned up, but he travelled into it very smoothly and it was a case of just waiting with him a little bit.”

Reflecting on Buick's failed title challenge, Appleby said, “I think it's something that William himself will say he has enjoyed and it's all very well riding these good horses at the big meetings, but he's been mucking it out round the smaller tracks. Success breeds success and you can't beat having winners so William riding more has given him more opportunity to ride more winners and I think we've seen a better rider. He has always been a rider at the top of his game, but now he's riding so many of these horses and so many different types of horses. I noticed at the back end of last year his style of riding was changing and we've seen that hunger this year. Win, lose or draw, William isn't going to walk away deflated from what he's achieved this year. He has that character that he will go forward again and do the same next year. For me, he's a huge part of the team and the more winners he rides, the happier I am. It's a sporting industry and the last thing you want is someone who is sat on the bench for the week and then coming out on the weekend. It's alright when you do it at a certain level of your career, but William is too young to be doing that just yet.”

Archie Watson was far from downhearted with the display of runner-up Glen Shiel, who also ran second in this year's G1 Diamond Jubilee S. at the Royal meeting. “He does come alive here, that's his second Group 1 second place here this year and I am delighted,” the trainer said. “The first-time blinkers worked, they really lit him up and he jumped and travelled very well. He quickened away and just found one very good horse of Charlie's to beat him. He's just a dream for the owners to have and a dream for us to have.”

Hollie Doyle, who took the meeting opener aboard Trueshan (Fr) (Planteur {Ire}) in the G1 British Champions Long Distance Cup, made a bold attempt to lead out from the front on 22-1 chance Glen Shiel (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), but was denied by a superior force on the day. “It was another brilliant run from Glen Shiel and he is such a credit to connections,” she commented.

Creative Force becomes the 46th Group 1 winner for his sire (by Dubai Millennium {GB}) and is one of three stakes winners produced by Listed Fairy Bridge S. victrix and G2 Blandford S. placegetter Choose Me (Ire) (Choisir {Aus}), herself kin to Listed Waterford Testimonial S. victor Shanghai Glory (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}). The March-foaled chestnut is a half-brother G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. heroine Persuasive (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), stakes-winning G3 Prix de Lieurey runner-up Tisbutadream (Ire) (Dream Ahead), the unraced 2-year-old colt Mr Zero (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and a yearling filly by Dark Angel (Ire). Creative Force's third dam Ajuga (The Minstrel) finished third in the Listed Sandy Lane S. and has three black-type winners to her credit headed by G2 EuropaChampionat scorer Bad Bertrich Again (Ire) (Dowsing) and Listed Cheshire Oaks victrix Alumni (GB) (Selkirk), herself the dam of Czechoslovakian champion and stakes-winning G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein and G2 Oettingen-Rennen runner-up Dux Scholar (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). His fourth dam is the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas and G1 Champion S. heroine Cairn Rouge (Ire) (Pitcairn {Ire}), whose descendants are headed by dual G1 Paddock S. heroine Queen Supreme (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and elite-level winners Ventura (Chester House) and Harlem (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}).

Sunday Focus On Paris and Baden-Baden

ParisLongchamp and Baden-Baden are the vital ingredients for a Champions Day hangover cure with the former's €130,000 G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris taking centre stage as Europe's Sunday highlight. The 11-furlong contest's honour roll includes G1SW globetrotters Vallee Enchantee (Ire) (Peintre Celebre), Pride (Fr) (Peintre Celebre) and Cirrus des Aigles (Fr) (Even Top {Ire}), but this year's edition lacks for that calibre of entrant.

Likely favourite in an open affair is AB Racing and Ecurie Ades Hazan's G1 Prix Ganay fourth Monty (Fr) (Motivator {GB}), who sandwiched a short-head second in Deauville's Aug. 15 G3 Prix Gontaut Biron with wins in the May 29 Listed Grand Prix de Bordeaux and Strasbourg's Sept. 19 Listed Grand Prix de la Region Est. He was also declared for Baden-Baden's G3 Baden-Wurttemberg-Trophy earlier in the day and the Andreas Schutz incumbent skips that engagement in favour of this tougher assignment.

Half of Andre Fabre's record eight victories came before the turn of the century and the master conditioner has not enjoyed success since Manatee (GB) (Monsun {Ger}) saluted in 2014. He relies on Edouard de Rothschild's G3 Prix de Reux fourth Mr De Pourceaugnac (Fr) (Camelot {GB}), the only one of six contenders found wanting for black-type, who annexed conditions events at Deauville and Saint-Cloud in his two latest starts.

International flavour is added by last month's Listed Listowel S. winner Visualisation (Ire) (No Nay Never), representing Joseph O'Brien, and Jozef Chodur trainee Opasan (Ire) (French Navy {GB}), who was rewarded for his domination in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary with a stakes breakthrough in Vichy's July 20 Listed Prix Hubert Baguenault de Puchesse. He lines up off a sixth here in last month's G2 Prix Foy. Seachange (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), runner-up in last month's G3 La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte, and G2 Grand Prix de Deauville second The Good Man (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}) complete the line-up.

Supporting contests on the Bois de Boulogne venue's nine-race card include the nine-furlong Listed Prix Casimir Delamarre for 3-year-old and older fillies, the one-mile Listed Prix du Ranelagh for 3-year-olds and up, and a pair of intriguing newcomers' heats. In Ireland, the Listed Garnet S. and Listed Bluebell S. are the feature events on an eight-race card at Naas.

Grewe Looking To Plug A Gap

Germany's main action focuses on the juvenile fillies' division with an open edition of Baden-Baden's G3 Die Winterkonigin – Preis des Derbysiegers Sisfahan, the recently rebranded Preis der Winterkonigin, one of two pattern-race events headlining the Iffezheim venue's final programme of the season. The Henk Grewe stable's celebrations were cut short in the aftermath of Sea Bay (Ger)'s stunning nine-length romp in last week's G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten, the son of New Bay (GB) since undergoing surgery on a fractured near fore, and the trainer is double-handed for a one-mile contest he won last year with Noble Heidi (Fr) (Intello {Ger}).

Grewe, who was in attendance at Tattersalls' October Book 2 sale this week, has nominated Ecki Sauren's Deauville maiden winner Lacuna (GB) (Shalaa {Ire}), who ran third behind 'TDN Rising Star' Raclette (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in a piping hot one-mile conditions heat at Chantilly last month, and Gestut Karlshof's homebred dual scorer Atomic Blonde (Ger) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}), who bagged a brace of €52,000 BBAG sales-related heats at Dortmund in her two most recent outings. Atomic Blonde's dam Alwina (Ger) (Areion {Ger}) snagged the same Dortmund auction races before running fifth in the 2016 edition of this and her yearling colt by Counterattack (Aus) secured the second-highest price of €75,000 at Friday's BBAG Racing & Festival sale.

Markus Klug plundered four consecutive renewals from 2015 through 2018 and sends forth the twice-raced maiden Enjoy The Dream (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), who posted a runner-up finish in Cologne's Listed Winterkonigin-Trial last month. Peter Schiergen, who bids to secure a fourth victory of his own and a first since 2009, is represented by a pair of once-raced maiden winners. They are Gestut Ammerland's Barina (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), who defeated subsequent winner and local hope Artemia (Declaration of War) over seven furlongs at Munich last month, and Gestut Haus Zoppenbroich's Lizaid (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}), whose debut win came in the same one-mile Hannover maiden won by 2018 heroine Whispering Angel (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}). That Sept. 19 race's second place went to Indian Sunset (Fr) (Areion {Ger}), whose trainer Jean-Pierre Carvalho secured his lone renewal with Ocean Fantasy (Fr) (Make Believe {GB}) in 2019. Gestut Wittekindshof's thrice-raced maiden Rosenart (GB) (Areion {GB}) is the only entry with pattern-race experience and ran fourth, for the Andreas Suborics stable, over seven furlongs in this track's Sept. 1 G3 Zukunftsrennen.

Sitting Chilly

Baden-Baden also plays host to the G3 Baden-Wurttemberg-Trophy and the 10-furlong test is a competitive affair, despite the defection of Monty (Fr) (Motivator {GB}) to ParisLongchamp's G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris. It took 10 attempts at black-type level for Gestut Brummerhof's Chilly Filly (Ger) (Makfi {GB}) to make a stakes breakthrough, doing so in September's Listed Baden-Baden Fillies Cup, and the 4-year-old homebred will line up returning off a third in Hoppegarten's G3 Preis der Deutschen Einheit earlier this month. Ecki Sauren's Only The Brave (Fr) (Iffraaj {GB}), who had earlier finished clear of Dato (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}) when runner-up in August's G3 Spreti-Rennen, and Gestut Auenquelle's Daring Light (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}) finished in Chilly Filly's wake in that Berlin test.
