Baaeed crowned Cartier Horse of the Year

-

Superstar Baaeed has picked up two prizes at the 2022 Cartier Racing Awards, including the prestigious Horse of the Year title.

A son of 2009 winner Sea The Stars, Baaeed started the year unbeaten, picking up four consecutive Group One races for trainer William Haggas before suffering his only career defeat in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot in October.

The four-year-old colt, who becomes the first horse owned by Shadwell to receive the award and was also named Older Horse of the year, will stand as a stallion next year after retiring from racing.
