A meeting in the uk a week or so ago was giving away about$26000 in prizemoney for a 7 event gallops card!!! Maybe Black Caviar will get a little indigestion afterwards but she will eat any sprinter in the world!
Hi Regal, I thought this thread was dead so I've taken the opportunity to start myself off again. I must be the only person in Australia that doesn't expound to the Hyperbole and unproven superlatives of the Aust media and racing public. I take nothing away from Black Caviar but the media's claim to be the worlds best sprinter is unfounded.A few figures on a piece of paper saying she is the best in the world proves nothing. I point out that horses such as JJ The Jet Plane, Rocket Man and others go there merry way winning sprint races around the world from Hong Kong to Dubai winning millions in stakemoney while BC races against two bit sprinters that wouldn't get a look in over there. The trainers of these horses ( particularly the Japanese ) have no hesitation in loading up there charges and taking them to where ever they have to. They do not deal in hollow rhetoric. The challenge is now open to the connections of Black Caviar to equal this before I claim her to be the best in the world.
