Al Qayed made his first appearance on the track just over a week ago, finishing third in what was clearly a competitive race. At only two years old, he is very much at the start of his racing career, and a third-place finish on debut is exactly the kind of result that suggests a young horse has decent ability and room to improve. He is trained by
William Haggas at his Newmarket yard, one of the most respected training operations in Britain — Haggas has already sent out 170 winners this season alone, so Al Qayed is in capable hands. With just the one race under his belt, there is plenty of time for this horse to develop and show what he is capable of.
