Queen of the turf to take on the world

Black Caviar, the Aussie wonder horse, will race at Royal Ascot in England over the weekend at the feature Diamond Jubilee Stakes in front of Queen Elizabeth II and is looking to extend her record to 22 wins from 22 starts.
Her half sister recently sold at a yearling sale for more than 2.5 million dollars. At that price you have to wonder how much Piper Middleton is worth!

You cannot argue with beauty, brains and brawn.

And modesty too.

She is a beautiful animal, and Australia is thrilled with her. Hope she has a good day tomorrow.

I would loved to have been there for this one. Black Caviar is one of the most exciting horses to come along in some time.

Oh my gosh, a near run thing by the sounds of it. Great win!

The name is about as classy as you can get. Very appropriate. A new Aussie sporting legend.
