I'm watching Ch 9's world of racing. Black Caviar, Black Caviar - its absolutely embarrassing . Talk about sycophants. One just said if she wins this one we can idolise her even more. Can you believe it ? Triple Honour- 3rd (couldn't get out of his own way during summer carnival in Perth) . Yeah, great line up of sprinters.

No Regal I will be commenting no more, I will now be looking to her overseas ventures. A lot of our group I winners don't stand up to a G1 winner in GB or France. You only have to look at our G1 winners in the Melbourne Cup. When an international G1 winner appears they are generally superior to ours i.e. Americain. Japan learnt very quickly, once they sent their top horses here ( Delta Blues & Pop Rock ) our horses were demoralised. You might perceive me as being wrong - I don't. I would love to see Black Caviar win in Hong Kong or Dubai or Royal Ascot but that's her challenge. She's beaten all our sprinters so there is no point going on about it, time to take the next step.

you've hit rock bottom here MA
aussie have the best sprinters int he world fact
europe/japan have the best stayers in the world
black cavier is a sprinter...so dont try and compare her to what happens in the mebourne cup
I think you hit the nail on the head - we have never sent our very very best sprinters over in recent years - the ones you mentioned always found one better than them at home, yet when they went overseas they were either dominant or performed credibly. I'm sure if Black Caviar went to England she'd make a mess of them. However I think she would be tested in Hong Kong, Japan, Dubai etc.
I watched the race on my way back from n.z and thought she went awsome and she rightly deserves the tag of the best sprinter in the world.
