So your hoping she loses so you can say she was just "average"?
It's not like she's been beating allowance type horses.
I believe I will be but one of many that will be cheering her on this Saturday. Not only because of what she has already shown, but because we want to believe that she is as good or even better than we have so far seen. They at least put her on a plane and traveled 30 hours to prove it. No one can say her connections ever "ducked" the competition in order to remain unbeaten.
Black Caviar is a truly exceptional race horse. To be able to look back one day and say "I remember when......", just as those do/did that were witness to previous greats of the past such as Secretariat, Phar Lap, Sea Bird, Ruffian, etc.,is going to be an awesome feeling.
