First Winner for Baaeed

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Aug 13

The Champion Miler of Europe in 2021 and beaten just once in an 11 start career, Sea the Stars stallion Baaeed was a superstar on the track for Shadwell and he sired his first winner in the UK overnight.

A homebred for Cheveley Park, two year-old filly Coaxed kicked off her career in a 7f maiden at Kempton and returned a winner.

The John and Thady Gosden trained filly gave a good kick for her rider Rab Havlin and held off a late surge from the Godolphin homebred Woottton Bassett filly Mrs Miniver to win by a long neck.

 

"She's a filly that wants to please you all the time at home, she's never been off the bridle until today," said Rab Havlin.

"It was a nice performance, she had it easy up front, showed a nice turn of foot and got tired the last half a furlong.

"We know the family well, they've all been pretty nice fillies including this one, so I hope she goes that way. She'll go a mile but can stay at seven for the minute."

Coaxed is a half-sister to stakes-winner Cajole and G3 placed Theoryofeverything and is the fourth winner from six to race from Group I winning  Dark Angel mare Persuasive, a half-sister to another Group I winner Creative Force.

Baaeed stands at Shadwell’s Beech House Stud at a fee of £55,000.

Baaeed was the superstar miler of his time - 10 wins from 11 starts.

His sire Sea the Stars posted two new stakes-winners overnight, both of them untapped lightly raced horses on the up.

The Charlie Appleby trained 2YO colt Quest for Stars won the Listed Stonehenge Stakes (1m) at Salisbury and is now three for three and holds entries for upcoming Group races.

He was a €700,000 purchase for Godolphin from Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale last year and is the first winner from stakes-winning no Nay Never mare Singforthemoment, a half-sister to the dam of Group I winning sprinter Big Mojo.

Going two for two in the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes (1m1/2f) was the Joseph O’Brien trained 3YO filly Star Performer, who is the first winner for Group III winning Kodiac mare K Performer.

Sea the Stars has sired 151 stakes-winners worldwide and stands at Aga Khan Studs Gilltown Stud at a fee of €300,000.
