Yukichan · Feel priviledged to have had her in my generation and witness her complete domination of other world class sprinters, male and female. Enjoy retirement and motherhood Nelly, you've earned it 25 times over. · 31 days ago ·

rafirox · Nelly deserved it, what a mare! I can't believe she won at Ascot with such an ailing injury. The way she dominated race after race was stunning. She must go down as one of the greatest sprinters ever, IMO... Best I've seen in my life. · 31 days ago ·

AmbitiousD · Like Yukichan mentioned, I feel privileged that we witnessed a horse like Black Caviar. Her record stands on its own, but I must say, I am still blown away by her consistency. If she ever had a bad day during her career, I don't think we ever would have known it. Enjoy your retirement! · 31 days ago ·

travel_vic · Interesting story in Down the Stetch about a couple Henry and Partica Devine naming their South African horse Black Caviar. She was by Black Minnaloushe so it was not a big reach. "There is an understanding among racing jurisdictions not to allow the name of a great racehorse to be used again," Peter V'Landys, Racing New South Wales chief executive. Only question remains, What was the new name submitted?? Don't know. · 31 days ago ·

On The Gallop's · She consistently clocked sub 10 sec splits in her races and all in hand and geared down at the wire and she will still throw up a 1:08-1:09. Her style, and smoothness looks like Nijinsky. Nelly and Rocketman are the two best turf sprinters I have seen in a LONG time. Best of luck to her as a broodmare. · 30 days ago ·

nayrod64 · I'm disappointed she isn't able to race in a breeders cup. That would have been amazing to watch. I wonder if she coininsides with Animal Kingdom? I think the connection are looking to Frankel. Either one will be an excellent. · 29 days ago ·

BrianAppleton · It would have been amazing to see her in the Breeders' Cup, but I still can't seem to feel any dissapointment from such an amazing career. Most top notch horses don't even run 20 times during their career anymore. · 29 days ago ·
