If you don't go, you won't know. That's the mantra New Zealand trainer Allan Morley has taken with Melbourne Cup aspirant Blue Breeze as he prepares to kick off his spring campaign at Wyong on Friday.

The six-year-old Blue Breeze will contest the Listed Wyong Gold Cup (2100m), the first of four lead-up races Morley has planned as his ultimate goal, the $8 million Melbourne Cup (3200m) at Flemington in November.

Blue Breeze earned his Australian campaign with placings in three stakes races last term including the G1 Auckland Cup and has pleased Morley since he arrived at Wyong on Monday.

"We were a little worried about it for a little horse from South Auckland that has never travelled any further than Ruakaka or Rotorua before," Morley said.

"I am very happy with how he is, he is very bright to the point where we worked him this morning (Tuesday)."

The son of Bullbars resumed with an impressive win over 1400m at Pukekohe last month, a result that surprised Morley.

"It was a little bit of a surprise to be honest. I had done a lot of long, slow work with him because we were aiming at the staying races.

"We were using it as a development race and we also put an apprentice on to take some weight off him because the track was very heavy.

"We thought if he finished in the first three on a very wet track over 1400m, which is too short for him, we would be stoked.

"He did it pretty easily and was full of bounce afterwards."

"He is very full of himself over here."

Blue Breeze had an exhibition gallop before leaving New Zealand to make up for the cancellation of a planned race at Ellerslie due to a lack of acceptors.

Morley is opting to space his races evenly throughout the spring.

"He seems to like his races about two weeks apart. If our mountain is the Melbourne Cup we needed to do two weeks apart from where we are to then," he said.

"Wyong is first then two weeks later the Newcastle Cup and then two weeks later The Metropolitan.

"If he qualified for the Melbourne Cup then you have got the St Leger two weeks later in Sydney and then two weeks to the Melbourne Cup."

Morley, who trains a handful of horses as an add on to his professions as a saddler and blacksmith, is excited about having a horse capable of campaigning in Australia, let alone run in a Melbourne Cup.

"Just having a horse that is good enough to come over here is a dream come true," he said.

"I just hope I have done everything right and then what will be will be.

"If we won the Wyong Cup I would be stoked. Anything after that is a big bonus.

The youngest in a family of 12, Morley has been around horses all his life and is a saddler and farrier by trade.

He has an impressive background in show jumping, riding alongside some of the greats including Mark Todd.

"I come from a showjumping and eventing backgound, I am a blacksmith and saddler by trade and my father used to break-in a lot of horses, about 50 to 60 every summer," he said.

"I started doing that and then started doing a couple of thoroughbreds as well as the show horses. Then people would start coming to you and say 'they were going better for you when you had them, why don't you get your licence?"

Morley was initially tasked with preparing Blue Breeze for New Zealand Bloodstock's Ready-To-Run Sale before he trained him.

"I was asked to break him in and take him to the ready-to-run sale. I said to the owner I would break him in but we won't get him to the ready-to-run sale because he is too far behind the eight-ball," he said.

"We just played with him from then on. He got bigger and stronger all the time and we gave him a trial and he looked good.

"He didn't race until he was four, maybe that was a good thing in the long run."

Blue Breeze is named after a well-known NZ restaurant and is owned by a syndicate including the owners of the Blue Breeze Inn.

Cambridge Stud principals Brendan and Jo Lindsay saw Blue Breeze's potential and have entered into his ownership. He will carry their yellow and black colours through his spring campaign.
