Tracks BIG difference in the UK than Aus, lets wait and see...

Update from my mate in Oz ..Black Caviar will be going straight to Royal Ascot..her stablemates Sepoy and Helmut UAE Derby will be going to Dubai..its the first time for trainer internationally and first time for horses on all wether track..I think BC far better than Sepoy according to them.

Cheers Oscar

BLACK CAVIAR'S trainer Peter Moody has thrown out a challenge to English racing authorities to tempt the wonder mare's owners into a mouth-watering clash of the world's unbeaten heavyweights against Frankel in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.

Moody said after Black Caviar's 18th consecutive win on Saturday that he had so much regard for Black Caviar he would not shy away from a clash over 1600 metres with the world's highest rated horse if authorities made such a contest worthwhile.

''The world is her oyster and while I don't want to open Pandora's box or anything, we could even have a crack at Frankel,'' Moody said yesterday. ''If there was a big enough carrot dangled in front of the owners, we might consider doing it. That would determine who is the best in the world once and for all.''

For such a clash to occur, Moody would need to readjust Black Caviar's plans for this year to accommodate her first run over 1600m.

''If she was ever going to pull in her life then it would have been yesterday [Orr Stakes] as they went that steady but she just went to sleep as normal, so that tells me that she'd manage further again,'' he said.

If a match-up against Frankel is to eventuate, Black Caviar would probably target the Sydney carnival in April to stay fit, with races such as the Queen Of The Turf (1500m) at Rosehill in April and the All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on the radar.

Sounds great

This trainer has balls to challenge Frankel over Frankel's best trip a mile..
Mouth watering contest that...
It would be great for WORLD racing

I shouldn't quote myself but I'd like to know: what sort of odds do you think they'd each be at if this match came off?

If Black Caviar takes on Frankel - and wins - we'll have to divide racing history into BBC and ABC ... Before Black Caviar and After Black Caviar. It will go down as one of the Great Match Races of all time.

Heehee good one Mav...now really if Investec were looking for a race to sponsor it would be this one..they in both countries as well..came Benji!!

Frankel 5-10 BC 15-10 my personal opinion over 1600m. Maybe Frankel even shorter.

That's betting to 100% Craig lot of build up before, watch this space

Igugu 1/10, frankel 1/1, BC 18/10><

Over 1600 m as well.. Just playing guys, but urll know I just love Igugu.. Sometimes da way I go on about Igugu, ppl who didn't knw better could swear I was Mr Mcdonald
