Baaeed camp 'very happy' ahead of Ascot and feel vindicated by call to miss Arc

Baaeed is preparing for the Qipco Champion Stakes at Royal Ascot on Saturday. Sheikha Hissa watched him work on the Al Bahathri Polytrack on Thursday morning. Baaed is a best priced 1-3 chance to bring the curtain down on his career at Asot. Richard Hills believes the decision to skip the Arc was the right one. He is excited to be running him again at a mile and a quarter. The ground at the Ascott was heavier than in the last three years. It was also heavier post-time. He would have had to pay the supplement and withdraw him before the race.

Baaeed camp are happy ahead of Ascot and feel vindicated by call to miss Arc. Baaed impressed on the Al Bahathri this morning under Michael Hills63.
