A) After the Dubai World Cup raceday, we plan to take him back to Singapore for a bit of rest. He will then start training to defend his Singapore Gold Cup title.

Q) Who do you feel are the main horses also aimed at the Dubai Gold Cup who could give Gilt Complex some serious competition. A) It is too early to say yet, we are the ones that need to see if we are good enough.

Q) Did you find 'another' Gilt Complex at the Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling sale? A) We buy 10 – 12 yearlings each year. They are bought over from Australia to Singapore when they are 18 months old. It is a long process however it has been very fruitful for us. I think in the last 3 years we have purchased 2 Horse of the Years in Singapore as well as the Champion Sprinter in the last 3 years.

Q) Tell us a bit more about Gilt Complex the racehorse. A) To be honest I don't have any one story about him. He is a very honest and easy horse to train that is pretty fuss free at home. Coming away has been a very big experience for him and he has taken a week or so to settle right in which is to be expected as some don't handle it as well as others. I learned an awful lot last year as far as travelling a horse to Dubai and have made several changes so that we perform better when the time is right. I have allocated 3 races here for him which will give him time to adjust to the new surroundings before his Grand Final arrives. Bringing Debt Collector last year was a good and bad experience as I made so many fundamental errors that didn't allow him to perform to his very best on the night so I was very disappointed in myself straight after. Like most things in racing there is nothing like experience and mistake making to improve oneself.

Q) Please tell us a bit about your family. What were the reasons behind relocating from Australia to Singapore ? A) As everyone involved in racing knows it is a 24/7 business and Australia is certainly no different. When the decision was made it was at a time when I had a young family (3 children) that I just want seeing enough of. At the time I was working from 4am and wouldn't get home till late if I had had races in Debt Collector. the afternoon. Added to this it wasn't economically viable for Photo Credit - TDN me and I sat down with my wife (Jo) and said we had to make a North America (GB) ( SatishSeemar – Richard Mullen) wins the Mina Hamriya Handicap; change as it just wasn't working for me on several fronts.

I was very fortunate to be guided by two very clever people in my parents

Godolphin's international superstar Thunder Snow and half-brother North America have danced to this tune before in the Al Maktoum Challenge R1. They face off once again on Thursday. A hugely popular on the Meydan track, his fine form makes him a force to be reckoned with. Multiple G2 winners Heavy Metal won his last outing at Meydan in R1 of the same race. The gelding has also won the Dubai Creek earlier in the season. Erwin Charpy's Chilean princess Furia Cruzada is going race for the first time at Meydan since her unfortunate run in the Dubai World Cup 2017. The mare infamously tangled with Arrogate at the beginning of the race. If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have seen Arrogate's famous Last To First dash past the post.
