Trainer William Haggas has announced that the Shadwell Estate-owned Baaeed, will appear on the second day of the Henry Cecil Open Weekend heading to France for his final run in the Gr.1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
This year, the unbeaten colt will take center stage, although he had appeared at the same event 12 months ago with stablemates Alenquer and Addeybb.
Charlie Fellowes, chairman of the Newmarket Open Weekend, said: "It's great that the public will get a chance to see such a superstar as the world's highest-rated horse whatever his future plans may be. Hopefully, it's nice weather and plenty of people will come along."
This year's open weekend will continue to support the racing industry and its workforce as well as the local community and money raised this year will be donated to the long-term charity partner and main beneficiary Racing Welfare, as well as the National Horseracing Museum, Newmarket Day Centre, and the Newmarket Heath Ambulance, a fundraising initiative to purchase a quick response unit for work riders on Newmarket Heath.
