Black Caviar Tonight

[turninforhome10]

Black Caviar became the highest ever Internationally rated mare in the world, and named the world's best sprinter, and with her decisive victory in the Australia Stakes she moved to 17 straight wins.

Black Caviar's next race is set to take place in the C F Orr Stakes this Friday Night (2/10) at Caulfield and with a victory the world's highest ranked sprinter would move to eighteen straight wins from the start of her career. An accomplishment that would place her one shy of the modern era world record held by legendary Zenyatta, and tie the consecutive victory streak achieved by Australian Racing Hall of Fame thoroughbred Ajax.

Can't wait to watch the crowds enjoy this true wonder of speed.

Her is the site I adore for Australian racing. Using the odds comparison allow to watch totes in real. Their PPs are great and there is even a mini handicaaping feature allowing you set preferences and let the computer do the work. Enjoy

Cool site. I will have to play around with that some more when I have time. Thanks!

[toussaud]

honestly... that race didn't look right. at least to me it didn't. i mean she won, but her cruising speed wasn't as high as it usually was. either that or they were going much faster which it didn't look like. she is usually right off the lead.

with that said sure she's not 100% cranked up especially if she's prepping for dubai. not even saying i would bet against her, just saying i've seen her look much better.

We must have watched different races.

[toussaud]

i've just seen about. what.. at least 12 of her 18 races. I've seen her look much better than she looked today. in fact i would say this is probably the worst i have personally seen her look, which i mean is still unreal but still. just saying not her best day. she usually is closer to the past with a higher cruising speed and she usually has the lead much earlier than she had today. Her running style is pretty identical to Rachel's actually, she can take the lead or sit directly off the pace. she usually isn't that far back.

again i'm not saying she' sucks or antyhing just i've seen much better out of her. probably just saving it for dubai

How can one possibly judge a horse and race when the entire field was at 99-1 odds except for her? Was she the only Thoroughbred in a field of Arabians or something?

It was a workout. She was under a hammerlock the entire trip.

Yep... they are talking about running her next weekend. Still a good performance over a "DEAD" turf coarse from another High Class mare.

Unfortunately Black Caviar's races are not real races anymore. Most of the opposing jockeys and trainers are not even trying to beat her. The horse that ran 2nd today Southern Speed is a good horse but it seemed they were happy to just run for 2nd today

So you don't think it would be feather in someones cap to beat her?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was this BC's first race @ 7 furlongs? I thought I heard that somewhere along the line.

I was impressed with her performance. Would love to see her and Frankel match up at this distance.

Yes, think it was her longest race yet.

I've watched her for her entire career as well and it's funny because if you say something like the above people tend to turn it around.

I know exactly what you mean.

She is breathtaking but this field was her toughest opposition yet or at least since the TJ Smith Stakes last year.

A Melbourne Cup winner, a Caulfield Cup winner, how many other G1 winners in thie field?

She is extraordinary in every way but I've seen her look better too and that says so much about her to beat this field (last out was a pretty nothing group) and at a new distance. People need to understand it's only an observation and not a negative comment!
