But it was the Mile rather than the Sprint which was announced as the intended target for Oasis Dream, with Gosden convinced that the extra distance will not be a problem for his charge.

The colt had left some fast horses trailing in his awesome wake as he landed an effortless victory in the big race.

Richard Hughes always had the 4-9 favourite at the head of affairs in the valuable dash and as soon as he moved out of first gear, the response was immediate as Oasis Dream swept clear of his opponents.

Ultimately, the winning margin of two and a half lengths did scant justice to the supremacy he showed over his rivals, who were headed home by The Tatling.

The runner-up, a 9-1 chance, ran a huge race for trainer Milton Bradley who was having his first-ever representative at Group One level.

But it was not really a fair contest as Oasis Dream came home on a different plane.

Oasis Dream covered the five furlongs in 56.20 seconds – just 0.04 seconds outside the record set by Dayjur in this race in 1990.

“He should have broken the course record really,” said Gosden.

“But Richard was doing busy looking at himself on the big screen and posing. I will have to have a word with him about that!

“He wasn’t doing anything in front. He could have won by five or six (lengths) but he was playing around, pricking his ears, changing his legs and looking at the crowd.

“In all my time in America and here I have never trained anything as fast as this horse.

“But the thing is, he isn’t just fast – he has a fantastic temperament too.”

Gosden is now hoping that Oasis Dream’s relaxed demeanour will enable him to make a tilt at the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita on October 25.

“In the Sprint you have got to draw pretty nicely, you want to be in three, four, five or six,” he explained.

“If you miss the kick then that’s it – you get dirt in your face and you’re climbing.

“I’ve been in America long enough to know the difference between a Breeders’ Cup Sprint horse and a Breeders’ Cup Mile horse.

“I am totally confident about him staying an easy mile. A mile at Ascot might be different but the two-turn mile at Santa Anita will suit him.

“He will have to learn to turn but he has the speed and the attitude to win.

“The last horse to win here and then go on to take the Mile was Last Tycoon. I will have to show Richard the tapes of Yves Saint-Martin, who was brilliant, riding him.”

The Khalid Abdulla-owned colt could first go to Haydock for the Stanley Leisure Sprint Cup.

“As long as it’s not a bog he will go there, but the question is whether he will have another race between then and the Breeders’ Cup,” Gosden said.

“I worked with Noel Murless for a couple of years and he had a fabulous sprinter called Abernant.

“Noel used to say that the thing about Abernant was that he would knock his rivals dead after three furlongs and this horse is the same.

“He is a very laid-back horse who doesn’t give a monkeys about anything. But he is fast, very fast and a pleasure to train.”

Bookmakers Coral offer 6-1 about Oasis Dream winning the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Among his most likely opponents from this side of the Atlantic are 2000 Guineas winner Refuse To Bend and crack French filly Six Perfections, while last year’s winner Domedriver could also make a return trip.

Hughes, fresh from being gently chastised for his ’posing’, admitted that Oasis Dream was “something very special”.

“He is not like most sprinters who have a long, daisy-cutting action,” he said. “He is a galloper who bends his knees quite high and he takes three strides to something else’s one.

“But when he goes, you know that you are going all right.”

The Tatling could be set to take on the winner again at Haydock, according to Bradley.

“He’s got to be covered up and we would have liked to get a tow from the winner,” he said.

“But he has done us proud – the winner was magic, a bit special.

“Darryll said that he will win us a Group One, he just came up against something special today.”
