Sorry, but Baaeed is now Bubble Boy

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Ross McDonald aimed Weekend Hussler at the Caulfield Cup. Baaeed is now Bubble Boy.

Baaeed will not run in the Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe. He will instead run at the Champions Stakes at Ascot on October 15. He is now an almost unbackable favourite to win the race. The US dirt champion Flightline is the favourite. Frankel swan-songed at about the same odds in same race a decade ago. His trainer William Haggis explains the decision. Jim Crowley defends the choice. Tom thinks Baaed could have survived 2 furlongs more. It's the curse of the picket fence. They have handed the world”s best title to another unbeaten horse.
