'Will we miss him when he's gone? There'll be less pool money, that's for sure'

Two years ago Baaeed walked off a horsebox and into William and Maureen Haggas's Flint Cottage Stables in Newmarket. From that day a devoted group of staff prepared the unraced two-year-old for an odyssey that started at lowly Leicester and culminated with the colt gaining official recognition as the best racehorse in the world.

There can be no doubting Baaeed's prowess after his devastating victory in the Juddmonte International this month. In their own words, those who have helped to shape him document the rise of a colt who has won all ten of his starts, in the process earning comparisons with the mighty Frankel.

Baaeed's epic journey began at Flint Cottage, where new horses are sent before they eventually graduate to the main yard at Somerville Lodge Stables.
