Topic: Saeed bin Suroor


  
  Godolphin - Saeed Bin Suroor
Saeed bin Suroor is Godolphin's trainer, overseeing the preparation of the horses on a daily basis.
Saeed bin Suroor was appointed the Godolphin trainer ahead of the 1995 season and quickly made his mark, collecting the first of four British trainers' championships the next year, before following up in 1998, 1999 and 2004.
Lammtarra was expertly nursed back to health from a bout of colic to win the Derby on his seasonal debut and Saeed bin Suroor oversaw the colt's remarkable campaign of success.

  Arabian knights - smh.com.au
But if Saeed bin Suroor - father of five, former policeman and head trainer of the sheikh's Godolphin stable - is feeling the pressure, he is not showing it, except perhaps when it comes to his family.
Now bin Suroor is in charge of preparing 300-odd thoroughbreds, most on behalf of the sheikh, who is also the minister of defence for the United Arab Emirates, and most carrying bloodlines rich in equine aristocracy.
Bin Suroor said the Melbourne Cup, along with the Kentucky Derby and Japan Cup, were the races Godolphin was striving to win.

 Racing: Godolphin's crowning glory
Saeed bin Suroor, whose appointment as trainer for Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin team was first announced at the Dubai International Jockey's meeting in March last year, had to overcome a spirited, season-long challenge from Henry Cecil, who in recent days has been generous in his praise of his rival's achievements.
For much of his first 18 months in charge, Saeed bin Suroor has shrugged at the suggestion that he was merely a figurehead, but as he has gained confidence - especially over the past few months - his charm, good nature and the regard of his colleagues in Godolphin has shone through.
Yesterday, a delighted Saeed bin Suroor, who had been in Canada with the disappointing Mark of Esteem when Medaaly gave him his edge, was quick to show his gratitude for what everyone accepts is a fine team effort.

 Cup go-ahead for Millstreet - www.theage.com.au
Godolphin head trainer Saeed bin Suroor arrived in Melbourne early yesterday and has given the green light for Millstreet to join his better-fancied stablemate Mamool in the $4.6 million Melbourne Cup with Patrick Payne as his jockey.
Bin Suroor was referring to Millstreet's last-start fifth of six runners behind Dubai Success over 2400m at Doncaster on September 12.
Bin Suroor said he would expect Millstreet to race forward in the Cup although there was no suggestion he was there to ensure a truly run race for Mamool.

 Breeders Cup 2006
The lightly raced Discreet Cat had been tentatively penciled in to run in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct and leave the Breeders' Cup to Bernardini, but after watching his breathtakingly effortless performance in the Jerome Breeders' Cup at Belmont Park on Oct. 1, his connections were forced to reconsider their plans for their undefeated colt.
While Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has to be confident that Bernardini, his Preakness and Jockey Club Gold Cup winner, can win the Classic, he has also found it difficult not to give Discreet Cat a chance to make history in the Breeders' Cup's richest race.
The horses assigned to Godolphin are trained by Saeed bin Suroor and winter in Dubai before being sent to campaign in Europe and the U.S. Godolphin has started 33 horses in the Breeders' Cup World Championships, winning three times with Daylami (1999 Turf), Fantastic Light (2001 Turf) and Tempera (2001 Juvenile Fillies).
