Rider puts defeat down to soft ground

“I'm sad for everyone that Baaeed didn’t go out with a bang,” said Haggas. “A lot of people will be very disappointed, nobody more so than us. That’s the way it is.” After a tardy start, Baaeed was quickly in touch with his field but fully 300m out it was clear the favourite was going to battle to get on terms with the leaders. Adayar, the 2021 Epsom Derby winner, gave his all but it was Richard Kingscote who emerged victorious on Michael Stoute’s runner, Bay Bridge.
Some pundits put forward that Baaeed’s schedule taking in the Lockinge Stakes, Queen Anne, Sussex Stakes and Juddmonte International had taken its toll, but this theory holds no water as he is trained by a maestro who would have quickly detected if he was off the boil.
