Black Caviar

Would he win against Frankel?? my money on Frankel, but two outstanding fabulous horses that come along once (or twice!) in a blue moon

Lol - I don't know anything about horses and racing I just happened to come across the thread while the news was on and they were talking about Black Caviar winning its race.

That was a close race and emotional as well, she is something special......

Would like to see BC v Frankel, but in Oz, flat track in good conditions, think the ground took a bit out of her today, she could go 6 or 7 seconds faster than that

Don't forget Frankel and BC are two very different racers, it'd be like putting a 100m sprinter against an 800m runner - it just wouldn't be a fair comparison.

She didn't seem to be racing to her full stretch - and that's backed up by info from her jockey. Can't help but wonder what she'd have done if he'd let her have her head :)

He was trying to protect her as she wasn't right. See the change of stride on the replay and lameness on pull up..

You're right she didn't look quite right, such a beautiful mare - I just hope they do the right thing by her :)
