Black Caviar

[Spiritedly]

Is she worthy of the hype?

 

[Cazzah]

Think her record speaks for itself - 21 starts, 21 wins. Also just watching her on TV she looks amazing!

It will be a massive anti-climax if she doesn't win!!

 

[AmyMay]

I expect so. Very impresive looking horse.

 

[Spiritedly]

She does look great. I hadn't heard of her till last week that's why I wondered what others thought.

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Can't wait to see how she does. I hope she wins

 

[PolarSkye]

She's a big strong mare . . . very impressive to look at . . . hope she wins.

[Cuppatea]

she is a stunner to watch moving.Think i might cry if she does it!

 

[Fools Motto]

I'm watching, and I too, want her to win. Go BC! Lovely looking mare.

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Oh I will definitely cry!

 

[Spiritedly]

I wonder if the queen will make an offer if she wins

(when she wins )

 

[zaminda]

She is unreal! Never looks to have come out of a canter either.

 

[AmyMay]

I really, really hope she wins.

She must be huge as she is heavier than Denman who was 17 something, not many TBs who are oversize get through their career without soundness problems. Lets hope the stalls are big enough.
If I bet on this race it would be "without Black Caviar"

 

[Spiritedly]

I think they said she is 16.2.

 

[AmyMay]

Very nerve backing...

 

[AmyMay]

Yes, 16.2.

 

[Fools Motto]

I feel so nervous for her...

She has had some injuries...chest muscle damage as a three year old stumbling after a start and a leg injury that year that ended her season early. They manage her incredibly well.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

I may be going against the grain here but part of me really wants her to get beaten just to say "up yours" to the pompous owners!

 

[misst]

Wow that was close

 

[Hedgewitch13]

I think she did it but not that impressive I'm afraid!!

 

[HaylStorm]

gosh, that was close!

 

[AmyMay]

OMG!!!

 

[amage]

Hmmmm that was not impressive...

 

[Fools Motto]

Dim jockey!

 

[Spiritedly]

She didn't seem as impressive as I thought she would be.

 

[_MizElz_]

She never really looked like she was pushed though? Almost like jock thought she had it sewn up - he was just sat quietly right to the end. I get the feeling that, had he realised how close the others were and ridden her out more, we may have seen a LOT more from her. She was barely cantering!

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Well I think it's safe to say she won't be leaving Australia again Next time she won't be so lucky to beat the Europeans! And what a complete moron that jockey is! Dropping your hands near home thinking your home and hosed in Britain when everyone is out to claim your scalp?! Tut tut! He deserved to be beaten for that!

 

[Cuppatea]

Luke Nolan was very very lucky to get awaywith that!

 

[PolarSkye]

Well, that was a bit of a letdown . . . she squeaked that . . . and I'm afraid it looked like jockey error to me.

Is it me, or does she have a really strange action in trot?
