Black Caviar on her way to Meydan?

"BLACK CAVIAR, the unbeaten Australian sprinter, could head to Royal Ascot via Dubai after the mare was on Wednesday entered in both the Golden Shaheen and Al Quoz Sprint on World Cup night."

What I really want to see is Caviar vs Frankel in the Queen Anne at Ascot

This is GREAT. No better words to describe Black Caviar. One bad mare, indeed! Hope she keeps leaving them all in her wake.

When one enlarges this photo, her image is incredible!

The people are demanding a match race with Rapid Redux.
Rachael and Zenny did not happen - we must not allow this one to get away from us!

RR couldn't handle the ship to New Orleans, how are we going to get him to go to Ascot?

I like the caller's last words . . . "and it just keeps rolling on." Great way to describe that win streak. Dare one say, hope she carries it to at least 20. Piling them us as high as she wants.

I was reading some of the Australian chats yesterday, and there were many people who felt Black Caviar is beating nothing and avoiding real competition. Sound familiar?

Supposedly this was an easy spot, but it was her first race of the year. I'm sure they don't want to crank her up now when they have a few ambitious goals coming up.

IMO every race doesn't have to be some supreme test against the best available competition in the world. Virtually all the great ones have records littered with easy races in between some really tough ones.

Everyone in the world has known where she is and what races she was going to run in. If someone thinks they have a better horse, they know where to find her. If they get really aggressive and ship this year, what more can you ask?

I agree, I guess its a worldwide phenomenon, some horseplayers will always be naysayers
