Black Caviar

Bravo, bravo

Ok, we both know it was a lower level stakes in a small field but he sure did drill them very easily.

Guys - don't bother trying to bust Stockdale's chops here.  We are discussing some very serious thoroughbreds.  These horses are way, WAY better than what we have in America going long on the green.  At a flat mile in America we have NOBODY that can go with Goldikova

Let's give Workforce a chance to jump back onto the lawn and get his legs nice and loose.  When they meet up in a G1 we'll find out.  If Workforce is sound, properly conditioned, and in form then I'll throw a nickel on him to win if he is the second choice to So You Think.  Only if those conditions are met to my eye

it should be fun Stockdale you guys have a real good one there.  I just can't ignore a horse that is still relatively young that crushed in the Epsom and Arc

Yeah no doubt it was not a strong G3 but he won easy as you like by 10 lengths (Which he had to do) so fingers crossed he holds his form and can really serve it up to the Europeans. I think his versatility will be a big bonus for him, he can lead in his races or come from midfield and run them down. I am really looking forward to his campaign.

The Australian bookie Sportsbet has a market up for the Arc with

So You Think - $3.00

Workforce - $5.00

Frankel - $7.00

Im not sure if Frankel is even going to race in the Arc and for me it is a 2 horse race between SYT and WF so i would be tempted to just back both and get around even money for either winning

Im not being bias here but the British seriously over rate there own horses, there is no way Frankel should be rated that high. I dont think he has ever raced outside his age bracket, so he has only taken on 3yos. He has only had 5 starts. His opposition is questionable and in his last start which propelled him to the top of the ratings he only ran home his last 600m in 40 seconds!

I mean yes he is a very talented horse but a 142 rating??? Be serious

Loved hearing the commentator say "..and she looks pretty smart" - Biggest under statement lol

G'Day guys.

I think both So You Think and Black Caviar would be suited by the USA style of racing. They can both go hard on the speed while still having something up their sleeve. When the opposition start to feel the pinch they cruise away.

Only question is whether they would handle the dirt.

Remember the old Albion Park track Stockdale? You'd get great "Creekers" (Red Seas comes to mind) who were unbeatable at the track but not worth a cracker elsewhere - and vice versa.

There's no doubt that on grass Black Caviar is an out and out champion!

So You Think Vs Workforce in just over 13 hours time.

Cant wait should be a ripper!

Even with tactics that are banned in this country, So You Champion still rolls Workforce. The pacemaker tried to box SYT at the turn to give WF the best possible chance. As soon as SYT could get clear of the pesky fucking pacemaker, he out 'stayed' the stayer.

It's a shame Europe won't see the best of him. He seems a lot lighter over there, and his explosive speed is a causlaty IMO

oh dear...
