Default Black Caviar......enjoy your retirement

I'm not a "horsey" person nor a betting man but even I must admit she is one hell of a horse

25 starts......25 wins....... http://www.theaustralian.com.au/spor...-1226622986904

I hope the grass stays green for her!.....well done to her owners to take her out on a high!

the records may come for prices paid for offspring.......I wonder what horse they will choose and the outcome of that

anyway whatever eventuates from breeding her the record wins will remain for a very long time I think

Seriously?... Doubt too many syndicates would have splurged at $1.03- $1.09 returns?
Though the Bookies loved her.. SO many "little" punters had their $5 and $10 bets just to have the betting slip as a memento (never cashed in)

I think its a cop out, they retire her without a loss.

Its like saying I have the fastest car in the WORLD! But it sits in my garage all day, I idle it every now and again, but I won't take it out, and you with the second fastest car in the world isn't going to race me.

They should have kept running her until she had a lose, then retired her, and made her make lots and lots of babies, they would still sell for lots of $$$ anyway.

I've seen her at every race she was in at Flemington, and watched the interstate ones.

as a horse person, i think all the people comparing her to Phar Lap & Carbine, saying the mare is as good or better ....well, i'd like to slap all of them. You cannot compare stayers to sprinters, totally different.

i'm surprised she raced this long. The horse has a looong history of injuries, every time she raced there was a chance of a catastrophic injury, the sort that gets fixed with a bullet. Then no progeny, and no $$$.

I will be interested to see which stallion she gets put with.
