Racing Review | Baaeed wins the Prix du Moulin | Racing Postcast

Racing Post

Maddy Playle is joined by James Stevens and Ireland editor Richard Forristal to review the weekend’s racing and take a look back at the key performers from Haydock, Ascot, Kempton and Longchamp.

Before dissecting the weekend’s racing, the panel starts by discussing the suspended Gordon Elliott, who will step out of the shadows and begin his redemptive journey on Thursday, September 9.

Rewinding to Saturday, Haydock was certainly not short of quality as Kevin Ryan’s Emaraaty Ana got the verdict in a thrilling finish with Starman in the Group 1 Sprint Cup. Artistic Rifles, Golden Flame and Island Brave were also impressive winners at the track.

It was a weekend to remember for William Haggas, as Hamish returned from a 442-day absence to defeat odds-on Hukum in the September Stakes, while Chalk Stream was a class apart in the Lavazza Stakes. Most notably of all, however, was Baaeed’s win in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin on Sunday, with Maddy and James discussing what could be next for the unbeaten colt.

Before signing off, the panel cast their eye to the Doncaster St Leger meeting and the Irish Champion Stakes to give their best bets.
