ABOUT to embark on his new career at Nunnery Stud, Baaeed received the evening’s premier equine accolade, the Cartier Horse of the Year Award, and was also crowned the Cartier Older Horse following an outstanding season that saw the son of a former Cartier Horse of the Year, Sea The Stars, annex four Group 1 races.

Angus Gold, racing manager for Shadwell, said: “On behalf of Sheikha Hissa and her family I would just like to thank Cartier, Laurent Feniou and his team. It’s amazing that here we are for the 32nd year. As Chris [Richardson, managing director of Cheveley Park Stud] rightly said, we never take for granted your support of our industry and we thank you so much for giving us another wonderful night here tonight to honour our champions.”
