Black Caviar

[The_Doctor]

The offspring would just be another rockstardom anyway.

Totally different, Makybe Diva was a seasoned staying mare. Black Caviar already has proven bloodlines and is proving to be exceptionally well bred.

I hope she goes back to Ascot (1% chance), brains them and retires.

She and Frankel should make home pr0n during it. Internet hit!

Pretty sure that's precisely what Ron is saying... great mares don't make great broodmares.

Many well bred mares have failed, too... one popular theory is that their bodies are f**ked from racing, don't have the physical attributes anymore to make an infant thrive. Basically, body f**ked by racing and the shit they pump into them.

Wakeful eventually foaled a Melbourne Cup winner, but there are no champions among the progeny of Desert Gold, Tranquil Star, Flight, Wenona Girl, Leilani, Emancipation, Let's Elope and Sunline. And they were carefully bred to the most successful and compatible stallions.

So did the other BC race?

So did the other BC race?

Quoted from today's herald sun paper

Owners Pat and Henry Devine had no idea of the furore they had created when they named there colt Black Caviar. They have changed the name to Black Beluga, saying they had never heard of the unbeaten Black Caviar the 2year old was meant to make its debut yesterday but was scratched after pulling up lame from a track gallop.

 

[Whowants2know]

On a side note the William Reid stakes at Moonee Valley has been put back 10 minutes so that channel 7 can show it live during the halftime break of the football.

Great idea

Yeah right....never heard of Black Caviar, must be clairvoyants to come up with the same name!!

..probably thought no-one from that silly little country down at the bottom of the planet will ever find out!

Gotcha fellas!

Interesting to see Barakey run today.
Started well but faded to 11th in the Newmarket.
Had 5.5 kgs on the winner but lost by 9 lengths.
Not sure how to read his run.

Sort of makes sense.
He dropped from 2nd very quickly.

 

[half_back_flank]

Owners can't take a trick.

group 1 race down the Flemington straight is a lot tougher than running at Ascot ot Belmont.

As I always suspected.

The competition is also tougher.

Barakey also took a piece of hoof out with the missing plate so a long spell is on the cards.

I think it's premature to write him off on the back of this campaign.

the other WA sprinter Lucky Grey was powering last 200m. Was quite a good run.

 

[half_back_flank]

Scans found Barakey fractured his knee during the run as well.

I don't think he is close to the calibre of BC, but blind freddie could see there was something amiss with him during the Newmarket and still people sunk the boot in.

Hope he can get back to his best and have another shot during the Spring.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

What's the go with the Vally next Friday, do we really need to pre-purchase tickets? Is it auctually going to sell out?

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Surely not. I can't re-call it selling out on Cox Plate Day before.

Friday Nights are generally pretty slow there.
