It is great that Horse Racing is top news in other countries. Only way Horse Racing gets any news coverage here is when PETA does thier song and dance against it or there is a horse with a funny name (Mywifedoesntknow or Hoof Hearted).

Oh God, Hoof Hearted. Just thinking about that race call makes me laugh.

Black Caviar was magnificent. One-in-a-lifetime quality. Only one horse rated above her in the world, Frankel. One more race in Australia in 2 weeks, then to Royal Ascot for the world Sprint Challenge June 23.

Fun to note that horse racing is a big deal for even the general public in Australia (see Melbourne Cup, the "race that stops a nation") - and the government had free buses to the track for the public. And handed out all those dotted-peach souvenirs, flags, silks, etc.
