I may not want her to win but I'll be fine if she does. At least she got me up at 730a to watch.

Gotta give her the credit now. A nose or 10 lengths, the result is the same. Can't say I walked away feeling like I just saw the best or second best horse in the world or an all-time great sprinter but she got the job done. Maybe it was jockey error that nearly got her beat but her talent overcame him.

Great ride.

More amazingly, a winning streak survived a long plane ride.

She didn't look her best all week. There was legitimate concern.

Still won. Saved Nolen.

The obvious question is who would win a matchup between her and Frankel? I think at 6f, she might have a shot. I'd take him though. At 7f, he'd win with ease and at 8f, it would be a massacre.

From Racing Post Twitter..

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