45 years watching horseracing all over the world. This mare is one of the greatest horses of all time. Better than Frankel? Who knows? Ignore the negative comments, just rejoice that we were able to witness a champion and give the connections the respect they deserve for bringing her over to Royal Ascot.
@@kat36ward90 Frankel was racing in the best and strongest racing jurisdiction in the world at 1600m+ Frankel beat world class horses look at the form. Frankel beat a horse that beat Gentildonna the Japan Cup winner, Frankel destroyed a horse that beat Goldikova who won 3 Breeders Cups, Frankel beat a horse (Cirrus De Aigles) that beat So You Think, and let's not forget that So You Think is the only horse to win five Group 1s in both hemispheres. Frankel also thrashed a horse that beat Snow Fairy who won back to back Group 1s in Japan and won the Group 1 Hong Kong Vase.
she tore her quad muscle in the run, the jockey stopped up, and it was on a foreign track? the best sprinters in the world were there and she still won at about 65%? best ever at the distance
@@MarcusRod14 What’s to say? Just a lack of experience riding the Ascot track. The undulations and uphill climb would make it as physically taxing as running 1400 at Flemington or Caulfield. If he hadn’t stopped riding she probably would have won by 3/4 of a length. I blame the trainer for her poor performance. Wrong decision to run her twice in Adelaide before going He should have kept her fresh and targeted the 5f race.
Nolen also said had he ridden Caviar out she still would have only won by three quarters of a length. He didn't realise how spent she was until she stopped very quickly instead of coasting to the line as she normally does. It was an honest mistake, not a brain fade. Nolen is to be commended for rating her perfectly in the run and still leaving something in the tank where she was able to pull out an extra effort in the last three strides. Had she lost, though, the public would not be forgiving.
I think you are mistaken. Nolen is primarily dejected because the previous Tuesday at Newmarket Caviar was her usual energetic self in the training gallop. Had she brought that form into the race she would have won by lengths. Nolen and Moody wanted to show Caviar to the UK racing public racing in her best form and winning emphatically. Moody noticed early on in the race that Caviar was not "travelling" as confidantly as she usually does. Hence the post race disappointment by both of them.
Luke Nolen looks really dejected in this interview but, given that Caviar didn't travel as well during the run as she normally does, he paced the run very well to leave her with something at the end to fight off the late challengers. Despite a small error of judgement at the finish it was a great ride. Well done Luke and Peter. Can't wait to see Black Caviar in the Spring continue her unbeaten streak.
She struggled because she tore muscles in her leg and still WON against the best horses in the world on a FOREIGN track with her jockey making a huge error..It was rated her 4th worst run ever but of course she still won.Champion
Black Caviar and Winx won 58 races in a row between them But the one race out of those 58 where one of them is on the international stage and just scrapes in, she's injured. That's unlucky!
@desertstar987 i hope you know by now ( you should) that she did have muscle tears and a back problem going into this race , you know it's kind of strange how Phar lap when he won his international race overseas at Mexico had a cracked hoof and a illness and Black Cavair had a muscle tear and a back problem , maybe Phar Lap from above helped her win ? ;)
Because you’re wrong. Easing her down wasn’t the reason it was so close. She ran 13lbs below her season average... that’s why it was so close. Putting it down to pilot error is ignorance.
He went to sleep on her no excuses she would have won easily but Nolens arrogance nearly cost her the race. She was a super horse and he just pulled up in Australia he would have got suspended for that.
MegaVector2011 Try travelling around the world and competing in a race - see how you go mate?She won the bloody race _ Poms seem to be underwhelmed by most things.
+MegaVector2011 Not impressed? She travelled half way around the world, so she was a bit flat. As it turned out she pulled a hindquarter muscle during the race. Likely jumping out the gates. So raced injured. The jockey and trainer knew she didnt look or feel right throughout the race and were nervous for her... Poor mare gave it her best against a Group 1 field of the best. No wonder she lost :( .... Oh wait.... thats right SHE WON ANYWAY. Bahahahaha!! #sourgrapes
I agree she was a great sprinter, but I doubt she won against the BEST horses in the world on a Foreign track? If there is no Hong Kong sprinter in the race, don't claim the field is the best.
Its not how much you win by, She is unbeaten. enough said.

She did what Winx didnt do...win away from the comforts of home country.
@Mr JML i agree

I am so very grateful to you for making this press conference available. I'd never have seen it otherwise and very much wanted to. Thank you.
She's still the fastest in the world !

The best sprinters in the world were there?????
Who?
Moonlight Cloud never won a race over 6f.
Who else?
@@elgransenor1472 she tore a muscle in the run and Nolen rode hands and heels. Your unhealthy hatrid for Australian racing is eating you up
@@MarcusRod14
Hatred?
I’m a massive fan of Black Caviar.
Just not necessary to lay the bullshit on so thick.
@@elgransenor1472 what did you think about Nolan’s ride, keep in mind ever since black caviar retired Nolan has been a C class jockey at best
@@MarcusRod14

disrespectful to the other horses riding like that. look at her next race he rode her out to the line.
@@warpumgaming7981 Nolan obviously learned from that ride not to coast horses to the line.
This video says it all, its about running the horse a race at time not margins and records. All the horse has to do is win , what more do we want?

Black Caviar is certainly the fastest horse I have ever seen race in Britain. Abernant was an incredibly fast sprinter, but he was way before my time.
She struggled because she tore muscles in her leg and still WON against the best horses in the world on a FOREIGN track with her jockey making a huge error..It was rated her 4th worst run ever but of course she still won.Champion
She tore leg muscles in the run that’s why she slowed up on Nolan. She still managed to beat the poms
Black Caviar and Winx won 58 races in a row between them
But the one race out of those 58 where one of them is on the international stage and just scrapes in, she's injured.
That's unlucky!
So You Think is another horse who is often forgotten about
Glad Moody understood Luke's ride. Gallant mare. She raced with fitness issues.
@desertstar987 i hope you know by now ( you should) that she did have muscle tears and a back problem going into this race , you know it's kind of strange how Phar lap when he won his international race overseas at Mexico had a cracked hoof and a illness and Black Cavair had a muscle tear and a back problem , maybe Phar Lap from above helped her win ? ;)
I agree entirely with that.
Why doesn’t he just admit that the jockey was at fault. He misjudged where the winning post was.
Because you’re wrong. Easing her down wasn’t the reason it was so close. She ran 13lbs below her season average... that’s why it was so close. Putting it down to pilot error is ignorance.

Bad idea taking great horses on long overseas trips usually doesnt work out not worth the risk
He went to sleep on her no excuses she would have won easily but Nolens arrogance nearly cost her the race. She was a super horse and he just pulled up in Australia he would have got suspended for that.
The mare ran well but was nothing special. I was underwhelmed.
