TEN years of chasing has taught trainer Saeed Bin Suroor the traits a horse needs to win a Melbourne Cup.
“You need a horse with class, that stays and has the speed,” Bin Suroor said yesterday - the first morning he has been at the Sandown quarantine centre this year.
He says All The Good, aiming to become the 12th horse to complete the Caulfield-Melbourne Cups double and the first since Ethereal in 2001, is that horse.
“You need a horse that handles fast ground,” he said.
“I think this year we have the right horse. To win the Caulfield Cup, that is good enough to take him with some confidence to the Melbourne Cup.”
Bin Suroor trained Give The Slip, the runner-up behind Ethereal in the 2001 Cup.
Winning jockey Scott Seamer found better ground in the centre of the track, while Richard Hills kept Give The Slip hard against the rails.
Bin Suroor described the Melbourne Cup as “one of the best races in the world”.
“We’ve finished second twice and third another time - that shows you how difficult the race is,” he said.
“We’ve won most of the big races around the world, except the Melbourne Cup, the Japan Cup and Kentucky Derby.
“He (All The Good) has the class. He’s won over a mile and six (2800m) quite easy and he won the Caulfield Cup, but the Melbourne Cup is a different race — better horses and a longer distance.
“But he likes the ground, he has the class and the speed, and if he relaxes in the race, I think he’ll stay.”
Asked if he thought the Aidan O’Brien-trained Septimus had a mortgage on the Cup, Bin Suroor distanced himself from talking about horses outside his stable.
But he did acknowledge that Septimus was a “good horse, a very good horse”.
All The Good will canter again today and have his first serious gallop since the Caulfield Cup at Sandown tomorrow.
Bin Suroor said he would not ask Kerrin McEvoy to partner All The Good in the 1200m workout, leaving it to track rider Terry Cook.
He said McEvoy knew the horse and he wanted to keep the same routine heading into the Melbourne Cup.
