Guest House returns for his second-up run in the Group 1 Golden Rose on Saturday, and he is favoured in the market to take out that million-dollar race, priced at $2.50 with Sportsbet.

However, the three-year-old colt has never raced at 1400m before, placing a query on the son of Home Affairs’ winning ability at that distance.

Speaking on SENTrack & RSN’s Giddy Up, co-trainer Mick Price assured Guest House supporters that the increased distance will not be an issue.

“No, I wouldn't think so,” Michael Kent Jnr’s co-trainer stated.

“If someone said to me, ‘Can you win the Caulfield Guineas with that horse?’ and I trained him for it, I think he'd be ideal for it.

“I don't think 1400m will be a problem for him. If he has a relaxed way in running on Saturday, that'll give him the best chance.”

Reflecting on how the horse itself is going after setting a new 1100m Rosehill track record in his first-up start, Price revealed he initially wasn’t happy with how the bay pulled up from that race.

But now the colt is primed to win.

“The Sunday after that race, I thought he was a bit jarry, and then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I still wasn't 100% happy on him,” Price admitted.

“So, you've got to restructure him. We've had a to reshape him into this 1400m (run).

“He's (now) very good. He's had a couple of good 1000m gallops, and I think we're looking forward to a nice race – a different 1400m tempo, but Zac (Lloyd) will work at it.

“I think he's fit. Certainly the data on his recovery from those equimetres says we're on the right track with him.

“I think he's pretty right to go and win.”

When looking at the market for The Everest (1200m), Guest House is currently the equal third favourite at $11, despite still not having a slot in the world’s richest race on turf.

The slot which the colt would secure is Coolmore’s slot, and given Guest House will likely be sent to stud in the future, Price believes it is a no-brainer for the son of Home Affairs to head to The Everest.

“I haven't had a direct chat to Tom (Magnier), but I would think he's got a big circle around this horse,” said Price.

“Because what benefit does the race offer for that colt? It's a boom race, the Everest.

“So, if you've got a three-year-old colt that wins the Everest – a genuine Group 1, the biggest 1200m race in the world now – you wouldn't have to be a genius at marketing to market that one.

“I think three weeks is beautiful, dropping back (in distance), fresh. I think it's a good recipe, and that is the way I'd be going.

“I think he's an amazing prospect for a horse to go to stud.

“That's basically what we've got to do – shape the races so that we can get the best CV on him, so that he can go to stud.”

Interestingly, Mick Price did not include Guest House in his $100 stable mail play on Giddy Up.
