The first lady of Australian racing returned to her old "home" on Monday, bigger, stronger and maybe even better than when she left it seven months ago.
BLACK Caviar, the marauding mare Australians have developed an insatiable craving for, returns to racing's main menu tomorrow, striving to equal the record 14-win streak of legendary Phar Lap.
It was an assessment that will delight a nationwide audience, but send a shiver through the owners and trainers of would-be rivals - Black Caviar is returning better than ever.
GOOD horses do strange things to those who pay their bills. Butterflies were starting to flutter for the handful of Black Caviar's owners who bobbed up at Caulfield trackwork a week or so ago.
It seems champion Melbourne trainer Peter Moody’s biggest problem is how to keep is plethora of high-class horses apart in races during the upcoming Autumn
Carnival, writes Brad Waters.
