This caught my eye on the CNN homepage: http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/13/sport/...html?hpt=hp_c3 Always fun to see racing coverage out in the wild, i.e. news not in a racing publication.

Yes, I agree! I think they are going for 20 wins in Australia, then, with nothing left to prove, will take her to England, perhaps America for Breeders Cup.

Here's a good half-hour interview with her trainer, Peter Moody, talking about her career, her injuries, etc.

She did it again. The link has an audio version of the race call which I enjoy. Always a fan of the old school radio broadcasts a la Seabiscuit/War Admiral.

Also, here's a picture of Black Caviar doing her version of aqua dressage. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

Superb yet again. She was given a bit of a fight today by Hay List (a great horse in his own right - 14 wins from 21 starts), but drew away from him near the end. One of her best performances, I think.

If they decide to go to Dubai, trainer says this is her last start of season in Australia.

I do not believe they will go to Dubai.They have stated all along that England is the goal.
