Black Caviar just strolled in for no. 17.

"Strolled" might be overstating how hard she was trying.

How about running backwards giving the others a tongue-out

?

Black Caviar goes for 18 out of 18 today. First time she has raced over 1400m and it is a group 1 race.

Latest I saw was that she was paying 1.04.

Surely she will do well to see off Southern Speed over that distance ...

I must admit I had a little flutter on Southern Speed this morning.

Well done.

I'm not sure she couldn't win a Cox Plate.

What the Cav did as she wandered past the rest...

Looks like she'll go around next week in the Futurity as well. Would be pretty impressive to win at Group 1 at 1400m one week and then at 1000m in one of the world's leading sprint races the next.

by skully on Sat 11 Feb 2012, 15:39

But there's nothing within a bull's roar of her talent in her age group, is there? And being a baby, she'll get nowt on her back compared to older horses in said Futurity, no?
