The William Haggas-trained Baaeed saw his career come to an end on Saturday when he was beaten into fourth place in the Qipco Champion Stakes, the first and only defeat of an otherwise impeccable career during which he won 10 races – including six Group 1s.

Now set to become a stallion, the bay will be based at Shadwell’s Nunnery Stud from next year for a fee that is yet to be announced.
