For horse that is so relaxed how worked up did she get, clearly wasn’t the horse we have come to know
She had to be pushed to get past Soul and beat it by a length ffs. Soul a listed horse at best here and this is our greatest ever sprinter, just hope she is alright would be a massive shame.

Any other horse I would say definitely not. But she is one of the most relaxed sprinters you will ever see.
I have never seen her get anywhere near that worked up before, was close to 10 lengths of her best imo |

That was her 9th race this season, and she won them all. Not surprised she's just scraped home. I think her connections have got away with this but fair play to them for bringing her over.

KCS she only threw her head around 20 seconds before she went into the barrier?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^SHE WAS MORE RELAXED THAN ANY HORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN PRE RACE
WHAT TV PICTURES WERE YOUR STATIONS SHOWING FFS WE SEEN HER PRETTY MUCH NON STOP FOR HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE RACE AND SHE WAS RELAXED THROUGHOUT FOU SEETHING MUG |

By:
She was very agitated imo stars, just was not the same horse I have seen over the last couple of seasons. Her action was different and she never really traveled like she does.
Just heard Peter Moody for thr first time after the race on sky, looks a done deal imo. Shame really.. |
|
By:
yes not the way we want to see her go out definitely especially with these bloody poms sticking it to her now shame imo
|

By:
KCS Moody just said she will go back into work for the carnival and if shes up to it she continues

By:
Yea for anyone who missed the interview, he didn't actually say she would be retired but he did say it was possibility.... And after today's run I would be very surprised if she was to run again

Jealous poms.
She won with injuries, whilst being eased up. |

Fellas, I live in HK and watch and have watched a lot of racing for 50 years. She is the 2nd best sprinter i have seen to Dayjur, and i have seen some good uns. But to compare her to the best i have seen internationally in that long is folly, she wouldn't hold a candle to Frankel - simple. BTW I'm not a pom

She won with injuries, whilst being eased up. funny how the excuses come out once she has been showen up to be just a decent horse and nothing special there was no talk of injuries a couple of days ago when she did an amazing piece of work,atleast,amazing to the standards of aussie racing |

HRE, you're not covering yourself in glory here.
 Don't know how any true racing fan can be happy that she struggled. Anyone who loves racing loves seeing brilliant performances from great horses, unfortunately today for some reason she was evidently well below form. |

It is plain as night follows day that she was below form. Soul's performance in Australia leave him way below the level of Black Caviar. She was on a hiding to nothing coming over here really. If she had won easily you'd say she has beaten nothing of note (even though I rate Moonlight Cloud as a very smart filly).
I don't know what you're trying to gain coming on here and gloating like you've achieved some sort of personal victory, that shouldn't be what this sport is about. This sport should be about celebrating champions, and she most certainly is one. Your constant bragging reflects badly on yourself, but I doubt that bothers you one bit! |

She is a very good horse,of that there is no doubt,but the arrogance of the aussies to immediately state after the race that she was clearly way below her best is distgusting pathetic and an embarrassment,just because she did not win easily,how dare you just assume you can come over and walk over a horse of the ability of Moonlight Cloud and others,she came over and she won her group 1 and has remained unbeaten,my advice would be,to be happy with that and shut your mouths,instead of coming out with all the crap about how she was clearly way off her best and underperformed,you have absolutely nothing to base that on,the fact that she ran 10.78 or whatever it was says she produced her best

you are actually getting closer to a sensible post HRE ... so well done but facts are facts ... are you saying that 10.78 is her best lifetime sectional ... or are you unaware of her full career & sectional performances ? |

'How dare I assume', 'Shut my mouth'?
For starters I assumed nothing HRE. If you start assuming things in this game you won't last long. I thought Black Caviar was very beatable today due to a combination of the ground, the trip, and the fact she's been on the go for the past 6 months, hardly an ideal prep in my opinion. At her best I think she would have pulled out another few lengths. Why should I shut my mouth? This is an internet forum, where intelligent discussion is encouraged. However you seem to be reveling in the lack of a superstar performance from her. As a lover of racing I wanted nothing more than to see her do something phenomenal, why shouldn't we enjoy watching great horses run as opposed to putting them down at the first sign of vulnerability? Remember, it was only a year ago that Frankel didn't look oh so bombproof after the St James's Palace. |

By:
again, well said, they forget about the st james palace. she's ticked all the boxes, cant do anymore, she should be home in the spelling paddock after a long 6 months.
she's a mare who travelled half way around the world and still, she was the first mare in 26 years to win the diamond jubilee, that alone is a great effort. |

ONLY THOSE WHO ARE MAKING EXCUSES AND WRITING ABOUT HOW SHE WAS HUGELY BELOW HER BEST NEED TO SHUT UP,SECONDLY,THE GROUND WAS OFFICIALLY 'GOOD' SO THAT WONT WASH,THIRDLY,AS I STATED EARLIER,PLENTY OF OTHER AUSSIE HORSES HAVE MADE THE TRIP MANY OF TIMES AND STILL BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE THEIR BEST,SO I'M NOT HAVING THAT EITHER,LASTLY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU FOR HER VICTORY TODAY AND WE REALLY ENJOYED HAVING HER OVER,IT WAS A PLEASURE,HOPE SHE HAS A SAFE FLIGHT BACK AND ENJOY THE REST OF HER CAREER |

Also,for what its worth,many people including myself have Frankels st james palace win as his most impressive feat,for a horse to be able to kick for home a full 4 and a half furlongs out and still have the ability and class to last home was truely astounding,it was a terrible ride and the hourse had no right to be able to last home and win that race

By:
HRE. you seem to be pi...ed off that Frankel is not getting the cow towing royal forelocking tugging experience that your expecting. Relax, champ, take some medication and convince yourself that the MAJORITY of aussie horse lovers analysts etc. etc. think Frankel IS A DEAD SET CHAMPION. When will you realise they are different sex, different distance, different time zone, ....... fkn DIFFERENT.... but both ARE CHAMPIONS.

HRE - I think you'll find that she won that race and that's all that matters, despite the jockey not riding her out. Winners are grinners and HRE can go and **** himself
