Black Caviar
Not even remotely in question, embarrassingly easy for a Group 1. Tatts, one of the biggest bookies over here, priced her at $1.00, so the most you could win was your money back. Others were more generous. $1.04 seemed the standard.
Probably only going to be one more race before she goes out to stud. What price the offspring of Black Caviar and Frankel sells for some kind of record?

It will be interesting to see if they take her back to Ascot for her swansong. There's a feeling of a little bit of unfinished business there after Nolen's borderline calamitous ride there last year, where he nearly blew the whole legacy. I'd love to see her go there again and cut loose this time.
I expect when they meet this week trainer Moody will try to talk the owners into another spring and autumn in Australia then finish at Ascot 2014. If that's the case I hope he gets his way. (Hong Kong international day in December would be enticing but likely too much logistically).
Hope everyone knows that while, as grigsy says, Nolen's Ascot ride was borderline calamitous and nearly blew the legacy, he was trying to look after her when he could tell she wasn't right. He's an outstanding horseman.

Oh well, time for punters to cash out of a 25 time all up.
