Baaeed and Hukum’s Brother Raaheeb Wins on Debut at Ascot

Connections signaled a Royal Lodge target following a market cut for the Sea The Stars colt.

Overview

  • The Shadwell homebred took the 7f Charbonnel et Walker British EBF Maiden by a length and a quarter over Pompette on soft ground after minor reluctance at the stalls.
  • Trainer Owen Burrows praised a laid‑back, professional display from stall one, with Jim Crowley noting the colt finished strongly.
  • Raaheeb holds an entry for the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes on September 27, and Paddy Power shortened him to 16-1 from 25-1 after the win.
  • Shadwell racing manager Angus Gold assessed him as a Hukum‑type who should progress to middle distances next season, with connections viewing him as a miler for now.
  • Sheikha Hissa attended with a sizeable Shadwell team, and the yard will consider one more start this year depending on how the colt comes out of the race.
