Badass Baaeed heads nine for Newbury Lockinge

Monster miler Baeed tops the list of nine entered for the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on Saturday, May 14.

William Haggas' unbeaten colt enjoyed a mind-blowing debut season in 2021, going from a Leicester maiden to winning the QEII on Champions Day at Ascot.

Yet, Aidan O'Brien is on a hot streak of his own and sends classy filly Mother Earth, the winner of the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Prix Rothschild at Deauville last term.

Baaeed will face a seasonal reapparance but Zoffany filly Mother Earth already has a win in March under her belt, taking a Group 3 at the Curragh.

Meanwhile, Ralph Beckett's New Mandate, Sir Busker of William Knight), John and Thady Gosden's Sunray Major and Alcohol Free (Andrew Balding) finish off the line-up.

Baaeed holds off Palace Pier and wins the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes!
