When an American drives a car in Australia:

why was this recommended to me?

I just love your videos 😊

1st girl to win Perth cup choice

Coupla of days. Beautiful!

Left Southampton 7th Feb 67

I also was on this ship in 67, and remember it being stuck in the suez when the six day war was on my parents and i left the boat and did a tour of cairo and the pyramids whilst the war was going on, there where four familys who left the ship and the egyptians kept circling in the harbour and wouldnt take us back too the ship, in the end the four english males outnumbered them and they took us too the ship, the equator party I was dressed as a pirate and I remember the movie cinema that only had zorba the greek and gone with the wind playing continuously lol

Every time I watch this I laugh my head off- :-)

what a star to give a great bitch like xylia allen a start like that and still mow her down is still one of the great wins

And I also remember having to take a lifeboat to get to Acapulco. Oh, and when in Oz we lived in Perth for a while: Yanchep was my favourite place and Rockingham was where my brother got sunburnt for the first time.

And I remember the party when we crossed the equator that you show here, and playing table tennis on a wild, stormy night with some Greek sailors.

We just missed each other! We left Melbourne on New Year's Day 1967, bound for Southampton.

Lektra Scarlett put in some tremendous bounds towards the finish too, great run!

Still cannot believe how well she ran that race. Gives me goosebumps evey time. Go Miata!!

She did a shunt worthy of Jeune to get through that last gap and then pissed on 'em!

Yeah couldnt see interference. What part of race. Its blury on my screen

couldn't see it ?

I think u lost a bit of $ kore gurney. U don't know what your talking about mate

Greatest win you will ever see

I jagged the quinella ! Talent Show !!!

Hello, Wondering if you could contact me. I'd love to use some of that home movie footage in a documentary I'm working on. Would you be interested in being involved. We came to Australia in 1972 so the 1967 footage could be perfect. Hope this gets to you..Love to hear from you. All the best Su Goldfish s.goldfish@unsw.edu.au

In Black Caviar's case I think the owners were pretty set on a DJ start. And Moody has had a couple of close calls there. He had an air of unfinished business going to Royal Ascot. In terms of travelling though the difference between Asia & the UK is not that stark. Both S'pore & HK, while much closer, are more difficult on travelling horses than the facilities at Newmarket. Japan is even worse again. I know where I'd rather go... Royal Ascot is the pinnacle of world racing.

If you have a horse good enough to win decent races here you probably don't really need the money ;) An entire is worth much more with a Royal Ascot win under his belt than an Oakleigh Plate.. fillies are the same. If you have a gelding then there's the world sprint series... which is worth the effort if you can win multiple legs. The big thing is though... the organizers of RA pay for everything to attract the best horses. Add to this the pomp & ceremony & you can see the allure.

I think the timing is everything. We generally send some pretty good ones to Singapore & to Hong Kong. Japan is extremely difficult to get to nowadays from ANZ. It's easier to get there from Europe. We have some nice races for sprinters in the spring/autumn so I guess there's a clash. If they are good enough to go & win in Asis then they are good enough to win here most of the time. & you don't have to travel. Travelling horses is far more difficult than most people realize.

I think it's worth about the same as ht Lightning... a little bit less. Still a very nice race. Yeah a place chance at best though. I have no doubt that Atlantic Jewl will be at her best over 10-12F. Her win in the Wakeful was outstanding. There was a reason why she was so tight in Cox Plate markets for so long. She's got the pace to match it with best over 6-7F... but has a much better range. Who knows how she'll come back though.

Yep there is plenty to look forward to in the Autumn. I wonder if Kav will have Atlantic Jewel back in the Autumn? Power Princess looks a chance to go to the KrisFlyer. I think it's a big ask for her but it's not often as an owner you'd get one good enough to get an invitation to a race like that. Why not? I think she might struggle against a Lucky Nine or a Little Bridge but would bre massive for her breeding value. Will be great to see BC back in action. 35 straight... wouldn't read about it.

It's a pretty tough gig to win a Group 1 sprint race in Australia... wherever it is. WGR has run into a few good ones including More Joyous, Black Caviar & Sea Siren. He just scraped home against Spirit of Boom giving him only 3lbs in the Bobbie Lewis. Against the better sprinters he'll probably need everything going his way to win a G1 in Sydney or Melbourne. Yeah Barakey at the moment looks like he'd go better in the lead. He didn't handle the corner in this race well when 1 off the fence.

I think he gets in well at the weights in a race like the Oakleigh Plate or the Newmarket. I see they've raised his rating to 112 following his maiden G1 win. Taylor still thinks he'll get somewhere near the minimum... but there's not likely to be much of a spread without a Hay List or Black Caviar. I think he's going to be a better horse up the straight though.

bit harsh lucky grey top weight dead last at the 400m turn he got 2nd from there it wasnt a strong field there is a few group 1 performers in there

btw pinwheel had a terrific run he was unlucky otherwise he would have gave this a shake

why compare it to BC when plenty of other horses would beat it.. But yes its an exceptional horse just needs to race the bigger guns to gain respect. It only just had the legs against a pretty ordinary group one field. remarkable 11 straight now time to race the big guns

BC is unlikely to race in a handicap with her rating. Hay List could still come in ok at the weights depending on what else is in the field. Weight is not important, just the weight relative to what everything else gets. If 58.5 is topweight in a race like the Newmarket, Barakey would want to get a lot more than 3Kg's from a horse like HL. Even Buffering etc. When you consider the mares allowance for horses the calibre of Ortensia / Sea Siren you'd want to get a much better advantage than that?

Moonlight Cloud would have been double figure odds in this field. There is some very solid form around TOB & Halleywell Belle (although she didn't really run near her best). And of course there is a direct form line between Power Princess and Black Caviar. I wouldn't say "cracker," but a solid G1-2 sprinting field nonetheless.

Taylor said that he was likely to get the minimum?? Not sure if that would be the case now that he is a Group 1 winner? The Black Caviar of old is practically unbeatable at 5-6F up the Flemington straight. Much will depend on how she comes back. If Barakey remains unbeaten I'd be surprised if he had a go at any of the set weight or WFA races against the likes of BC & Hay List. Ortensia is in the mix as well...

I think that the biggest danger to BC will still be a fit and well Hay List. Barakey might still be progressing but he's not at Hay List's level yet IMO. I hear that Hay List is making good progress towards an Autumn campaign (as is John McNair) that will hopefully put him right in BC's sights around Lightning Stakes time. Having Barakey in there as well will make for some interesting contests. A repeat of the last Lightning would be epic.

For sure. Her ability is to be able to travel at ~11s furlongs at ease with that massive, easy stride. Any other time and we would be singing the praises of another WA sprint star. Unfortunately though we've been so spoiled by Black Caviar... we might not ever look on such a talent the same way again.

You do know what eased up means don't you? Barakey did a lot of work in this race. With a nominal run he is probably 2l in advance of the difference here with Power Princess. Temple Of Boom was only (only!) beaten just over 5L in the Lightning this year by Black Caviar. And that is probably within a length of BC's best. Agreed that she was not at her best in the RS but the difference is more contracted than you'd imagine. 3-4L would be about right for mine.

I see the stewards couldn't hand Luckygray the race this year. B grade performer at best!!

You must remember that BC was not fully fit condition wise for the Robert Sangster. BC beat Temple of Boom by 8 or 9 lengths. Spirit of Boom is of similar ability. This will give you an idea of their ability!!

If you took the shorts on Luckygray, which I didn't, I think you would have been pretty disappointed with the ride of Shaun O'Donnell. Last then 37 wide on the home corner when they're running 34.5 up front for the final 3. Especially given he was top weight. Did a super job to get so close. Hats off to Adam Durrant... superb training performance both in this race and the day.

Out of interest the time Barakey ran was 1:09.6. The 6F track record was set by Danny Beau in 2008 in a time of 1:08 flat. Good performance though to do all of the bullocking work up on the speed. There's a reasonable form line through Black Caviar and Barakey via Power Princess who ran 3rd behind the great mare in the Robert Sangster in Adelaide. On this performance he is perhaps 3-4L behind an eased up BC. Still a worthy group 1 winner and another in the line of great WA sprinters.

No - it will be a very long time before anything can compare to Black Caviar - if ever. She's such a champion and we all love her dearly. I am a big fan of BC. It's unfortunate that I'm not allowed to post her wins on UA-cam.

You're welcome :)

Awesome. Thanks for posting.

We did! Of course back then we had no idea of her history :)

wow you sailed on Australis with a fine decorated career

GO DAD!!!
