Black Caviar about to race

[sighthound]

Black Caviar about to race in Australia, about 40 minutes (half-a-million dollar Group 1)  First race back after her break.

[sighthound]

5 furlongs, 55:42 under a throttle, cantering, broke the COURSE RECORD

Holy Shit.

BTW, this is first race back after 7 months layoff.  Record 23: 23-0-0-0 at distances from 5 furlongs to 7 furlong (not a mile as I had posted)

Geez...looks like she is bigger than last year too...

Didn\'t even realize she was back this year until your post, thanks for the heads up..

Would love to see Black Caviar come running down the hill at Santa Anita in the BC Cup Turf sprint.Wonder how really fast she is, figure wise.

Rags had Frankel\'s best in the neg -4 TG range which is the fastest fig I can recall on grass.

Yeah, I thought the same thing - going by her published weight, she IS bigger.

Thanks for that 60 minute link!

Yeah, just come back from 7 months off after injury, at the age of 6, in a graded states, to break the track record winning that stakes for the 3rd time in your career.

Don\'t. We. Wish!
