Black Caviar

By Kate on June 23, 2012 9:43 AM | 13 Comments

A BBC livestream from Royal Ascot. The best filly in the world, the unbeaten Black Caviar attempts her 22nd win at 10:45 a.m. EDT

Update: By a nose, despite her jockey's brain fart.

Update 2: "Black Caviar was not 100 per cent in the race. We'll look at her when we get home and she might be retired," trainer Peter Moody.

Yes, click the icon in the lower left, just as you would a Youtube video.

The livestream didn't seem to be loading, so I've updated the post with a link.

That would be "Holy Horse" richfisher...

Black Caviar and pink bubbly champagne I rather suspect; to match the silks of course.

Its the 'tight' races that make for much excitement, a good excuse for irrational exuberance.

It appears they've put on a great show, top hat and tails, and gracious millenery all about.

An exciting finish as Caviar takes it by a nose and full extension of the forearm with hoof at the line...breathlessly close!

Hans,

That great show of top hat and tails and gracious millinery is not accidental, it's mandatory. Check out the dress code for Royal Ascot.

Thanks for the tip TimR...I will have to make my way to the nearest haberdashery when Her Majesty issues my invitation.

I may however not be in 'danger' of being on Her Majesty's 'short list'.

Cheers

No kidding about the brain fart. Looks like he lost track of where the finish line was -- that could have been a really, really bad mistake.

nothing dead or small about these animals

Ah, but TimR, dress code does NOT apply for West Pondia citizens. Ain't y'all seen some of our celebrities, even when they travel to the East side of the Pond?

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
