William Haggas, whose exceptional, unbeaten colt Baaeed is due to make his final trip to the races for the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on Saturday, spoke this week about the extent to which everyone around the horse is carrying on as if it will be just another day at the track.
“We’re all lucky to have had this horse while he’s been in training with us, and every single person has enjoyed the ride immensely,” Haggas said. “But we can’t go around getting tense and taut because he will then feel it. We’ve just got to be normal, work normally and treat him, as best we can, as another horse in the yard, so that he knows no different. That’s the idea.”
