First foal of brilliant Baaeed born in France

First foal of brilliant Baaeed born in France

Baaeed has sired his first foal with a new arrival at Haras de la Perelle in Normandy.

The Shadwell-owned superstar was trained to six successive Group One victories by William Haggas, landing the Lockinge, Queen Anne, Sussex Stakes and Juddmonte International in his four-year-old season before meeting with the only defeat of his career in the Champion Stakes.

He subsequently retired to Beech House Stud in Newmarket, having earned over ยฃ2.5million in prize-money and stands there for a current fee of ยฃ80,000.

His first foal is a bay filly out of Mejthaam, a well-related Exceed And Excel mare who is a half sister to Alflaila โ€“ also owned by Shadwell and trained by Owen Burrows to three Group-race successes so far.

William Rimaud, manager of Haras de la Perelle, said of the new arrival: โ€œWe are delighted with her.

โ€œShe is a strong, good-sized foal, full of energy and has a great temperament.

โ€œShe is doing everything right. It is very exciting to have had the first foal of the brilliant champion Baaeed.โ€
