Black Caviar at Royal Ascot Saturday AM

Hardly any ever try. The mighty Cannonball almost won this race a few years ago.

He's a New York bred who is 4-for-36 lifetime -- but was in pretty good form at the time.

He returned here and won the Commentator Stakes at 5.5f on the turf (Commentator, now there's a great turf sprinter) and finished 3rd in the BC Turf Sprint that year.

Cannon Shell trained the dam of Cannonball.

I'd like to see More Joyous come for the BC Mile but Gai Waterhouse probably wouldn't ship another horse.

I think it was it Var who won the big sprint in Frogland on Arc day 7 or 8 years ago? He was decidedly mediocre when he raced in the US before going to europe.

Yeah. He was just an alw turf sprinter here for Mott and probably one of your inspiration for trying Battle One in Hong Kong.
