Just like the announcer said," She's the greatest show on earth!"

Pretty sure she's a figment of our imagination. That was too smooth to be a real horse.

I love how the jockey just sits there, like she is galloping not racing.

everything else is great regarding the mare, but this is the part of the article that really struck me:



Trainer Peter Moody said it’s possible the 5-year-old mare could race Feb. 18 in the Lightning Stakes at 1,000 meters, and again the following week in the 1,400-meter Futurity Stakes. Both are group one events.

“On the ease of that win, I’m probably going to have to do more work with her next Saturday morning to have her ready for the Futurity than she did here this afternoon,” Moody told Australian news services. “If she comes through this great, there is a chance you will see her again in seven days.”

"Records coupled with modern technology have enabled the expert judges and analysts to come up with the same finding - the unbeaten mare is a super freak."

This caught my eye on the CNN homepage: http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/13/sport/...html?hpt=hp_c3 Always fun to see racing coverage out in the wild, i.e. news not in a racing publication.

Yes, I agree! I think they are going for 20 wins in Australia, then, with nothing left to prove, will take her to England, perhaps America for Breeders Cup.

Here's a good half-hour interview with her trainer, Peter Moody, talking about her career, her injuries, etc.
