Gilgai Farm’s Rick Jamieson and Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria share their thoughts on what the latest world thoroughbred rankings mean for Victorian breeders
Black Caviar being crowned the world’s best racehorse.
The blue-blooded half-sister of the World’s Highest Ever Rated Sprinter, Black Caviar, has been added to the list of acceptances for the 2012 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
Black Caviar's feat in winning her first 10 starts has placed the amazing mare within reach of at least equalling the superb record established by her great grand sire Nijinsky in the UK 40 years ago.
As Black Caviar once again routed a top-class field of sprinters in the time-honoured Newmarket Handicap (G1) at Flemington on Saturday it is clear that the hulking daughter of Bel Esprit is, quite scaringly, improving with every run.
It was billed as a match race but turned out as one horse race as the imperious Black Caviar kept her unbeaten record intact with a 4-length romp in Saturday's $750,000 Group 1 Patinack Farm Classic (1200m) at Flemington.
Sensational sprinter Black Caviar passed her biggest test to date with flying colours by toying with multiple Group 1 winner Hot Danish in Saturday's Group II Schweppes Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley.
JOHN THOMPSON, the long-time Sydney foreman for Bart Cummings, will take over as head trainer of the massive Patinack Farm operation, effective immediately.
Black Caviar lived up to the long odds-on price tag when easily adding to her imposing record, before impressive Elvstroem colt Carrara made it a stakes double for 2008 Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale graduates at Moonee Valley today.
PETER Moody's brilliant filly Black Caviar resumes at Moonee Valley on Saturday as the trainer prepares to split his outstanding team of three-year-olds between Melbourne and Sydney for the spring.
Less than a month out from the Southern Hemisphere’s best yearling sale, Easter graduates totally dominated feature racing today, with Group 1 Randwick Guineas winner Metal Bender leading a tally of seven stakes winners for the sale at Randwick and Flemington.
The outstanding strike rate of Inglis Classic graduates in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas was enhanced further today when Whobegotyou led home an all-Inglis trifecta in the $1million Melbourne Racing Club feature.
Darley Australia pay $750,000 for son of Exceed And Excel
A new record price for a yearling sold in Melbourne was set just before two o'clock this afternoon when Darley Australia paid $750,000 for a smashing bay colt by Exceed And Excel out of the Group Three Lowland Stakes winner, Gentle Call.
Eliza Park graduates enjoyed success at the highest level at Caulfield on Saturday when SHINZIG defeated a host of Group 1 winners in the C F Orr Stakes and the exciting WILANDER established himself as one of the nation’s best juveniles when serving it up his rivals in the Arrowfield Blue Diamond Prelude (Gr 3).
