Haha what a horrible thing to say in a 'Toast' thread.

yeah it is horrible but i am so over this horse and the exposure it is given by the media and all my bloody friends on facebook. the whole horse racing industry doesn't excite me and i just can't fathom how people can be so intoxicated by a damn horse. The best thing about horses is that they they taste dame good in fritz

24 in a row. Cleaned up the William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley last night.

I was at the KKKrows v Essendon game last night* and the race was put on the screens at half-time. Very exciting, everyone was watching and a huge roar went up late in the race when BC drew up next to the eventual 2nd placer, then flicked on the afterburner and accelerated away. Must be horrifying to be the jockey on any other horse and watch that.

* My wife's cousin's family are Adelaide-based Bombers supporters and couldn't use their tickets last night - the husband was interstate on business. We are their routine subs, not only do we reliably accept the tickets but he likes my interpretation of the game.

She beat some of the worlds best sprinters at Royal Ascot.

I know that and but its more to do with the whole 24 straight

I am not knocking bc as a legend just the 24 straight...

And still rate the divas 3 Melbourne cups higher then the 24 straight

Apples and oranges young fella.

I'd like to see Black Caviar race Pierro or More Joyous over 1400 and see how she goes but she is a sprinter and a very good one at that.

Legends always have their knockers. I met a Port Adelaide supporter once who didn't think Warren Tredrea was "that good"???

Obviously they are dead now but you get my drift...

Flogging a dead horse is like mixing bestiality with necrophilia, just saying.

Black Caviar's $5m younger brother has died.

Black Caviar's younger brother has lost his battle with illness after two months of intensive care at a Victorian veterinary clinic.
The $5 million colt, at the centre of the collapse of BC3 Thoroughbreds, was euthanised on Sunday morning at the Werribee clinic.
Mark Webster, managing director of auction house William Inglis and Son which held security over the half brother to the champion mare, made the announcement on his blog.
"At approximately 11am this morning the Redoute's Choice x Helsinge two-year-old colt known as Jimmy was euthanised on humane grounds at the Melbourne University Veterinary Hospital in Werribee Victoria," Webster said.
"Jimmy was suffering from laminitis, a painful hoof condition that impacts on the mobility of horses."

How many litres of glue does sir require?

 

[Ebert80]

I don't like horse racing, in fact I strongly dislike it, and consider it to be more an industry than a sport..however, the news of that horse's death is bloody awful news.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

RIP Jimmy.

Hopefully there is an enquiry into the purchase, ownership and demise of Jimmy.

Caught the Australian Story on Black Caviar on ABC last night. Link below.

When the story broke a bloke at my local said to me that horses "don't get bitten by spiders...." they are poisoned.

Insurance claim he said.

I thought he was joking at the time.

GERARD WHATELEY, RACING COMMENTATOR: There should be an investigation into precisely what's happened here. Is everything Bill Vlahos has touched in racing has turned rotten and there are people who have lost exorbitant amounts of money and now we have the death of a racehorse, which authorities really should be looking into to establish the circumstances as to how he came to have laminitis and exactly what had gone on.

I noticed on Australian Story that Gerard is Black Caviar's biographer. A true horse whisperer.
