She's cabernet over australia a lot more than England.

Either way, I'm sure she's enjoying being home!

If she was human then she would have been entitled to a British passport at birth, good enough for me.

However, English if she wins - aussie plodder if she loses.

So you think along the same lines as Aussies then? I knew it would just be a matter of time.

"english if she wins, aussie plodder if she loses."

Very disappointing the way it panned out, moody would be privately spewing at nolen for the ride. Nolen himself looked gutted after the race.

It was a terrible ride, but I still feel sorry for Nolen because of the enormous pressure on him, causing a brain fade.

In his defence, he had to ride her "safe" near the lead; the headwind - advantage to those in her slipstream; the sticky track - 1 min 14.1 compared to Flem Straight 1 min 8 sec; undulating track - not suitable for such an extraordinary long striding horse; to my eye she got stirred up in the parade ring; and the travel etc but she still won ! :D

It only just won because it's injured, oh no it was because the jockey didn't know where the winning post. :lol:

Excuses, excuses. It won good on it but I think it's been shown that put it up against some half decent horses and it doesn't just romp it home.

Now a match race over 1400m v Frankel.

Fact - it won. Fact - the other horses had jockeys pushing their horses to the max and yet Black Caviar virtually jogged over the line and STILL BEAT THEM.

fact 1 -Caviar took a massive dump in engerlund......
fact 2 -the english press and racing enthusiasts were all over Black Caviar trying to sneak a look or pic.
fact 3 - Black Caviar decided to walk the last 50mtrs to allow them to catch up, and yet STILL won

Fact 1 - You are that full of crap that i'm not surprised about your fact 1.

Fact 2 - She did not get found out, she won at a canter, barely raised a sweat and did so whilst injured.

Fact 3 - Poms will say and do anything in order to water down any Aussie success.

Re no 4 - When is this Frankel thing going to get tested? I'd like to see it come here for the Cox Plate or the Melbourne Cup but cant imagine the owners having the bollocks.
Also its only won 11 races (half of Black Caviar's).

Why won't you see black caviar in those races?

You do realise that those races are not considered a big deal outside of australia.

Hawkesy you pay for the priveledge of taking a dump in australia (taxes)

Caviar went to England, took several dumps, was paid a nice sum and went home!

It's the equivalent of me inviting you to my place, you taking a massive dump in my hallway and me sending you off with $1000 cash for your troubles while I'm left to clean the mess.

1. Surely even you know that its a sprinter, not a stayer. Next you will want Usain Bolt to win the marathon!

2. The Cox Plate is considered one of the best if not THE best WFA race in the world.

So, you're saying that Caviar won't compete in those distance because it's not the distance that it runs at. Mmmmmm, interesting!!!

I'd never even heard of any australian races before I moved here. If it's so big why doesn't Godolphin ever send over his best horses? Wasn't it Media Puzzle that came over here and took the piss, despite it only being sent over as company for another horse. They contemplated not sending it because it was so rubbish.

1 Refer the Usain Bolt/marathon comparison. Who is the better athlete, some Ethiopian that can run all day at one pace or Bolt? In other words, try comparing apples with apples.
2 Just because you havent heard of a race doesnt mean its insignificant. Look at the prize money for a start. As for Media Puzzle, nice that you picked one out of the so many others that came here which were raved about and flopped. Plus Black Caviar isnt the only horse to have won over in the UK either.
