Black Caviar - 27th Jan

Replay but poor quality atm Replay

Cheers Bob great stuff can't wait for Ascot

Wow, without raising a sweat.

i'm no expert but every now and again you are just a witness.

Last year Frankel in that straight mile, just something you will never, ever forget.

Today was first time I've seen Black Caviar. Whatever wants to beat her now had better start now. I don't know who the opposition are, but she killed them at the half-way mark and she hadn't come out of a canter. She had the field under the whip before that and her jock hadn't moved yet, and he never did. She looks like a breed apart.

Better quality replay and interview Replay

Gives one goosebumps.....and we don't actually know how good she really is....until she takes on the world!

Can sort of see Moodys point of view,why should she travel? Thousands of miles on a plane/chance of injury and for less money

Not so sure about the less money part.....choose your international races carefully......even if it's only Singapore and Honk Kong......

I enjoyed when he says the BC has horse racing on the front page of the papers for all the right reasons

scotia they crossed live from the tennis on the free to air tv to show her race, thats how big she is here,
everyone on the street knows who she is and when peter moody goes anywhere ppl say he's the one who trains BLACK CAVIAR.

Black Caviar getting set for Dubai before Ascot

ROYAL ASCOT has been confirmed the priority goal for Black Caviar this summer - but a run in Dubai's $2 million Golden Shaheen became a more likely addition to her programme after a meeting between the connections of the unbeaten Australian mare on Friday.

Managing owner Neil Werrett said they would do nothing to prejudice the world's top rated sprinter's chances of running in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Ascot in June.

However, a visit to Dubai next month is being given more serious consideration as an objective, after she has completed her Australian schedule.

BlackCaviar, who has won all 17 starts, is due to bid for win 18 in the Orr Stakes at Caulfield next week and then contest the Futurity Stakes on February 27.

Plans after that race had been more fluid until yesterday's gathering in Melbourne.

Trainer Peter Moody said: "Dubai wasn't really on the radar but it's on the table, as are a number of options.

"The Dubai trip was probably a ten per cent chance but now I'd say it's 50-50. If she went to Dubai, it would certainly break up her trip to England. There is ten weeks in between the two races, so that presents a few problems, but I am familiar with the logistics ofit all and it's an option we are thinking about.

"She'd already had all her vaccinations for the trip to England, so that wouldn't be a concern if she was to go to Dubai.''

Moody has stated a wish for Black Caviar to record a 20th victory - beating Zenyatta's sequence of 19 - on home territory, which she could bid for in the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on March 10.

There are other options at home should she miss the Dubai World Cup dayon March 31, but the prize-money there and the chance of netting a $600,000 bonus offered as part of the Global Sprint Challenge are proving enticing.

There is an additional $1 million bonus for a horse that wins in three countries.

Werrett said: "Dubai is now highest on the priority list as long as she comes through her next two runs well."

Martin Talty, Dubai Racing Club's international department manager, said: "She is closer to coming here than she was a week ago and with luck that 50 per cent chance will increase with those two runs under her belt. We will do everything we can to get her here."

Dave, I posted about this back on 22 Jan ... I've always thought BC might come to Dubai this year, certainly that she will run outside Aus. If they're hoping to run her against more than local opposition it will have to be this year. Next year she'll be a year older and who knows if she'll keep her form? Besides they will want her for breeding. Her foals will be worth a fortune.

At any rate, who's looking forward seeing a race between her and Rocket Man for the Golden Shaheen? Very interesting that would be! ... almost a match race. I reckon she'll doddle it frankly, but at Royal Ascot it may be harder for her to sashay home like she's used to doing.
