Black Caviar - 27th Jan

On Ryan's times they did the 1st 800m in 51.75 seconds. I could have lent them Bolshevik as a pace maker!

That seems to suggest that the others gave up before they even started. Clearly, her stamina was not put to the test.

magic you must admit that to say you are the best then you must beat the best. i will say she is the best when she run against international best not the oztralia best. same with jj he is not the best he is one of the best but how we say this if he never leaves SA? he was only rated when he win in dubai and hong kong. what do we say id hear the drums never leaves pe? he is the best in SA? I do not think so. try to punt a horse on only the times and you quickly get the poor house.

Fine. But maybe she has already beaten the best...?

Of course I'm as keen as anybody to see Black Caviar race outside of Australia, but handicappers are not stupid and they have good reason to rate her as highly as they do.

She is great but surely if you really trying to beat her you would have sent your horse out and made the pace as strong as possible to test her stamina and NOT set a slow pace and then expect to outsprint one of the best sprinters in the world. Cannot understand the rest of the fields tactics.

It does sound daft, Craig. Like I said, it's almost as if they gave up before they even began.

I am sure they are trying to break record before she leaves and just hope they don't push her too much as I fully intend backing her against anything on the planet, might have to reconsider vs Frankel but can't think of any sprinters?

yes maybe she did beat the best but they can only proof this by racing against the best on a world stage? i never ever do say she is not the best, i say she must proof it is all.

She'll get her chance to prove it (or not) over the next few months. I am as curious as anyone else to see what happens.

imo she has nothing to prove.if and wen she travels she will smash all b4 her except maybe frankel.they both awsome horses and atm the best 2 horses on the planet.i hv to admit i hvnt yet seen any horse win so often and with so much ease as bc.it doesnt matter wat is put against her,she simply smashes them with ease.i hv a feeling this horse is a freak and will smash them in uk as well.this horse is top, top class.

Ozzies know a good horse when they see one I think..if she were not exceptional then she would also have her critics in Oz but reading horse sites they all say she is a champ.

Why did she never meet Sepoy?
