Black Caviar maintains perfection

Black Caviar came, she conquered and she remained undefeated; That's what'll go down in the record books and nobody can take that away from her.Read More

Mary Z. · Can it be that in following this magnificent mare from win 13 on, that I've only watched less than 15 minutes of her mostly dominating performances ? Sad to think that today's victory, which so many asked to take place, that Black Caviar should travel outside of her homeland, may be her farewell. I remember her catch phrase that got me interested in finding out about the champion, "Blink and you'll miss her." My math could be off, but if you have a half hour to spare, and you did blink and miss her, you could take in her career. She brought joy to her fans every race. Very lovely blog about Black Caviar's heart attack win. · 329 days ago ·

icyhotboo · That wasn't jockey error it was jockey kindness she was totally used up at the point he stopped urging her. He only began again because without the extra strenuous effort she would have lost. I wish Calvin had showed that compassion at Saratoga. BC won't run again at least not in group 1 company as she'll be a 7 yo when you take in the recovery time. She's a great horse who had her time, made her mark. It's time to pass the torch to her offspring. Time to think who is the best stud. It would be nice to hook that speed up to speed and stamina, Bernardini. · 329 days ago ·

buckpasser · Any time a horse travels a long distance, it is very stressful. Her trip from Australia with quarantine was very long and arduous. It took alot from her performance. Whether jockey error or jockey kindness, it was her sheer heart that carried across that finish line. In my opinion she was the star of the meet. Her owners wanted her to be part of the celebration for the Queens jubilee. She left England probably with even more fans in a finish that only a Hollywood screen writer could have come up with. She may never race again, but everyone will remember the Diamond Jubilee stakes of 2012. · 329 days ago ·

icyhotboo · What to do to revive racing is always the question uppermost in our minds it seems. We all know the answer, attract the youth. Because of so many demands on a gamblers dollar now days it's almost impossible and I never thought it could be done. Upon seeing the video of the crowd gathered in Australia to watch this magnificent mare I realized we have to run our best horses more than their 3yo season( something I knew but forgot). Sadly this hasn't been the case. I sometimes wonder if not for the fillies and mares who have in essence carried this sport since Zenyatta, Rachel, and others ( Royal Delta at the moment) where we would be. Woodbine instituted a great policy the details I'm unfamiliar with at the moment that if instituted across n/a would literally force 4 and 5yos to run or have their offspring denied entry into stake races. I'm sure some one more familiar can provide details as I would like to see them again myself. I should have copied them when I had the opportunity. As you pointed out Buckpasser the great mare was weary and still showed her heart of a champion. It was decent of her people to make the long arduous journey so we could enjoy her brilliance. As for myself I saw her greatness mixed with what I perceived to be compassion which can never be wrong. · 329 days ago ·

buckpasser · Icy. That policy of Woodbines was actually started by Jeff Gural at the Meadowlands which WEG in Woodbine agreed with. Gural stated that if we keep retiring our champions at three the horse racing model will be finished in 20 yrs or less. He is right but possibly wrong in duration as the horror in Canada shows. By the way your post was very nice and very accurate · 329 days ago ·

buckpasser · We always talk here about why owners don't take chances and race so conservatively . Complaints about Zenyatta and others not facing great competition or traveling out of their home base. BCs owners sent here on a plane trip for over 30 hours across several time zones to race against top horses at track totally different that any she had raced on. They were willing to put her unbeaten streak on the line and risk ridicule if she didn't do well. That to me that is true sportsmanship, true class which is a real throw back to the great owners and champions of the past. · 329 days ago ·

DanMunn1 · Travel_Vic, thanks for your comments. A horse does indeed run when released for their effort and will continue to do so for as long as their stamina allows. However, you seem to underestimate equine ability, if a horse hears another horse coming to it on its outside it will knuckle down and battle. · 327 days ago ·

AnnaK · Buckpasser, very curious about Gural's statement about the tendency to retire champions at 3 would finish the racing model in 20 years or less. Could you fill that in abit? it sounds pretty interesting. · 327 days ago ·

buckpasser · AnnaK. Gural as the new proprietor of the Meadowlands and that the Hambletonian, the Kentucky Derby of harness racing, is held there, Gural felt that he wanted a new rule that no horse sired by a 4 yr old could race in the Hambletonian. It was his way to keep top three yr. olds on the tracks.WEG, woodbine owner, agreed with Gural on this and is not allowing horses sired by 3yr olds stallions to compete in their signature events. In Gural's opinion, if champions stay on the track longer, it increases the fan base. · 327 days ago ·

Black Caviar Not Done Yet

AUSSIE ace Black Caviar is expected to race on despite sustaining some soft tissue injuries during her heart-stopping victory in Saturday's Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. Trainer Peter Moody described his 22-time unbeaten mare as "very, very flat and the tiredest I have ever seen her" after ...Read More

likin sparks · Go ahead Moody pull a D.Wayne on her and run into the ground...any trainer should know until fully healed muscles strains/tears will over compensate and cause more injury. Lack of knowledge on the kinesiology or anatomy of the horse is very surprising as well. Must be totally based on luck with this guy. · 328 days ago ·
