Tony Millard, dual champion trainer in SA before relocating to Hong Kong in 1999, is eyeing two rich races in the Middle East for his top horse Elusive State: the $20m Saudi Cup and the $12m Dubai World Cup.
“One would have liked to have gone to Saudi Arabia — the Saudi Cup would have been his race over 1,800m and that would be the actual race for him,” the 59-year-old trainer added. There are, however, two hurdles to be overcome before Elusive State makes the final field for the Saudi Cup at the King Abdulaziz racetrack in Rijadh on February 20.
If Elusive State does make it to the Saudi Cup there is likely to be some stiff opposition. John Gosden has entered French Derby winner Mishriff, and William Haggas grade 1 winner Addeybb.
