I can't wait to see her take on the world!

Here in NZ, there's a new girl on the scene - Silent Achiever, favourite to become the first filly to win the NZ Derby in 20 years after an AMAZING win today.

...Silent Achiever won again today in the Avondale Guineas. That makes three major stakes wins against the boys so far in 2012. She really looks like a special filly. I agree with jockey James McDonald - "I can't wait for Derby Day." Two weeks to go!

Look how she eases up and pricks her ears short of the line. She's done that in all of her wins this year.

Look at the smile on McDonald's face.. You can tell he's having a ball.

It has to be such an awesome feeling to be on a horse like that, knowing there is even more left in the tank.

And she's now the 2012 NZ Derby winner - the first filly to win it in 19 years. And, once again, she did it so easily. She won by two and a half lengths with her ears pricked.

Default Black Caviar races April 28th

Starts back April 28 at Morphettville, in the Adelaide's $400,000 Group 1 Sportingbet Classic.


Here she is in her workout, or "jump out" as they like to call them over there.

Atlantic Jewel needs to be in this thread.

Cannot find the Sapphire Stakes vid. Anyone?
