Grahame Begg has put the disastrous Queensland campaign of All Silent behind him and is looking to race his stable star around the globe.

The Randwick trainer and his wife Sue are currently holidaying in England and will be trackside at Royal Ascot this week to get a good look at the course for the Queen Anne Stakes, a likely target for All Silent next year.

But before he aims at the European Group One, Begg plans to take All Silent to Hong Kong for the International meeting in December after he completes a two-race program over the Melbourne spring.

"He will run in the Gilgai Stakes and then the sprint race that used to be the Emirates Classic at Flemington," Begg said.

"It will just be the two starts in the spring and then hopefully Hong Kong.

"Whether it is the Sprint or the Mile we haven't yet decided."

All Silent's autumn was dogged by wet tracks in Sydney and things got worse when he went to Brisbane.

He ran third in the Doomben 10,000 but Begg and Craig Williams had to front stewards over the jockey's tactics in bringing All Silent to the outside fence for better going.

The long time favourite for the Stradbroke Handicap, All Silent was withdrawn days before the race with Begg exasperated by the state of the tracks.

The winner of the Group One Emirates Stakes (1600m) last spring, All Silent was trained in Hong Kong as a young horse but never raced there.

He was brought back to Australia to be raced by a syndicate headed by Begg's father Neville, a former leading trainer in Sydney and Hong Kong.

Although Grahame Begg has never trained in Hong Kong, he is no stranger to racing there having taken Monopolize to Sha Tin twice to win the Hong Kong Bowl in 1995 and again the following year.

"It's a shame they don't still have the 1400 metre race that Monopolize won," Begg said.

"We will just see how All Silent is at the time before we decide on the 1200 or the 1600 metre race."

The Queen Anne Stakes (1600m) was taken out last year by Australian Group One winner Haradasun and was his final appearance before he was retired to Coolmore Stud.
