Havent seen a win in G1 company that dominant since Christian Cullen won the Miracle Mile
If anyone missed the Newmarket get a replay, the most amazing win I've ever seen
the crowd started clapping at the 300 as she was just jogging

It was like watcihng a replay of her Lightning Stakes win, her ability to be on the bridle while other top class sprinters are having their ears scrubbed off is simply remarkable.
They haven't got to the bottom of her yet either. Amazing mare.
Who cares...This is a harness racing forum, the gallops has enough exposure as it is with out talking about them here. Worst thing is they rig races left right and centre have one of there biggest trainers married to one of the countries biggest bookmakers who has done time and people think they are all above board. The gallops are the new "RED HOTS" of the 21th century.
Yeah and the trots get a slice of their turnover - Which is more then we are entitled to
Hate to be the party pooper again. Black Caviar is a great sprinter but until she beats the worlds best it still has to be proven. That Newmarket field was the weakest lot of sprinters there has been for a while....and you can include Hay List amongst that lot. She came close to breaking the race record but she didn't. That means there are other horse's in the past that would have kept pace with her. The fact is the other so called sprinters are pathetic. Isn't Star Witness supposed to be going to Royal Ascot for their sprints?-you have to be joking.
Until she beats the worlds best? Its hard to beat yourself! But it would be the only way she would get beat!
Weakest lot of sprinters? Lets go through this
Crystal Lily a slipper winner; probably another Miss Andretti. Take BC out and we'd be calling CL a superstar - they went lightning quick early and still nothing ran past her.
Star Witness is a dual group1 winner
Eagle Falls had form around Starspangledbanner who has proven how good Aust sprinting is in England. BC would dominate Starspangledbanner no questions asked.
Last prep she annhilated Ortensia by 6lengths eased down; Ortensia then got within two lengths of JJ the Jet Plane.
Track records are only an inlination in the galloping world. In harness all the superstars hold the track records. In gallops you get quite a few relative donkeys hold the track records.
Great run by a very classy mare, i'd like to see her go overseas and see if she is the best sprinter in the world.
It's proven that Aussie sprinters are the best in the world
she is better than any sprinter around - she is a world champion
I don't see US baseball world champs going to Asia to prove they are the best - because everyone already knows they are the pinnacle of the toughest domestic competition
and Craig I feel sorry for you if you can't enjoy a horse like her
Hi aussiebreno, we will have to disagree on this one. Crystal Lily - Golden Slipper winner, a race for 2 year olds, a Miss Andretti - I don,t think so. Ortensia is always getting there but rarely does and Star Witness, I would be surprised if they even take him to England. Eagle Falls was supposed to be some sort of sprinting hope a season or two ago, since then he,s done nothing. Mind you I've always said why should our horses have to go overseas to prove they are the best, Let the others come here. There has to be a substantial increase in sprinting stakemoney to lure them here. Why would they come here when they can race for much bigger stakes in Hong Kong or Japan?.
