A mighty horse named Black Caviar- Australia


It just so happened on my final weekend in Australia there was a horse called Black Caviar running at Caulfield. It also happens Black Caviar is the Australian racehorse of the Year. It also happens my auntie and uncle part own Black Caviar. This all makes me feel connected to the horse and its easy to tell people about the mighty Black Caviar but its a different story standing track side to watch it run.
Therefore I made my way to Caulfield with a couple of my friends to experience the day out. As we walked in the gate there was no denying the day was about one horse. The 'Black Caviar pavilion,' a Black Caviar memorabilia stand and flags with the black dots on a salmon background the colours of the jockey.
Luke Nolen rode Black Caviar to an easy win to continue its unbeaten run of 14 wins in a row. It was the second time I had watched it win live and hopefully I will be able to see it win again sometime before it retires.
