baeeds brother makes debut today

14.20 ascot ^

Hukum was a superb Racehorse, one of my favourite horses of recent times. So it will certainly be interesting to see how his little bro gets on today

1.06 to be in the first 6? The scene of his brothers eclipse on better ground (G/S ) Foyles, be nice to see him be as good tbf.

His King George win was a very good day!

Hukum for me here. Excellent comeback win over what I consider the most impressive Derby winner for some time. The money around for Desert Crown tells me he was more than ready for the race at Sandown. But for me Hukum looked the winner someway out that day and he would have a been a very unlucky loser if Jim hadn't got him out in time.

Trip, track and going all spot on (hope it stays on the softish side of good) I get a feeling this lad is now at his peak and he's won't be the first Sea the Stars to get better with age. With the going now drying out, I've had something on Plyedriver too.

Looks a special race on paper, really looking forward to it.

Is it going to win




Or not

Guess work, Freddie but on breeding you'd like to think he'll go close today

Why it no odds on

From the TV pics he looks very laid back...a good sign

Looks the part, would like to see him bolt up.

He has a future this lad

Nice win.

I was there today, and although not paddock judge expert, this horse looked utterly magnificent. Quite big, compared to others, and I thought a bit narrow at the front. Sheikh Hissa and Angus Gold were there for a Friday afternoon. I would be surprised if this horse was not very good indeed. Be really interesting to see where they go. Horris Hill? Doubt if they will go to G1 as a 2yo. He could easily carry the weight in a novice but are they nearly finished? I will be following this horse.

I thought he looked narrow as well.  Probably a lot to work on.  Very promising.

as I say Loyal, I don't profess to be any judge but I did look very closely at him today (stops me drinking!). His back was wider than his front is what I am trying to say! I notice from the RP (which I read after my post) that they are not willing to go too high this year. Royal Lodge not at the front of their minds. They say 10f-12f horse. Given his breeding, there may be worse 33/1 shots for Epsom tbh. May throw a few £ on it.

Have we just seen the Derby winner there?

Won that with an absolute ton in the locker IMVHO

Saw him at Lambourne open
Was there hopefuly star
was 20-1 for derbi at that point
Said he knew nothing about racing!!!

Surely they go Dante - Derby with this lad.

got baaeds speed and hukams stamina a potent blend

The 2nd and 3rd are no mugs! I bet Jim can't wait to get back riding

For me that was the most impressive performance of the Flat season thus far. There were some fine performances at Newmarket & Newbury but that performance surpassed them all. Love the way he travelled into the race and then knuckled down and hit the line strongly. He didn't even take a blow after the race

He's a fair judge this Whippin fella

RAAHEEB produced one of the best performances in the Classic Trial this century, running to a Timeform rating of 119p.

A brother to Baaeed & Hukum; he's a potentially top-class colt in the making.

Very disappointing!

Angus Gold, Shadwell Racing Manager, “I have had a long discussion with Owen Burrows regarding Raaheeb’s participation in the Derby after his impressive victory at Sandown last week.”

“Owen said that the horse had been stiff for a couple of days following the race, but whilst routine x-rays have revealed nothing untoward, he will have to give the horse a bit more time to get over the race before he goes back into full training. Consequently, Owen feels he will not be able to have him in peak condition for the Derby; therefore, sadly, the decision has been made to bypass Epsom and give Raaheeb the time he needs, and we hope to have him ready for important targets later this summer.”
