Royal Ascot officials craving another dose of Caviar this summer Last year, Ascot welcomed and entertained Black Caviar's 10 owners, and their entourage, which numbered more than 160. In these days of intense competition for international runners, financial incentives for big-name horses are commonplace. No figures are ever mentioned, but Ascot is likely to have put a significant amount forward to cover travel costs and appearance money. "I think we probably speak once a week on the phone, and we are in constant contact," he said. If Black Caviar were to return to Britain, her target would be the five-furlong King's Stand Stakes on June 18. Last year, she scrambled home a narrow winner of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, over six furlongs, but after the race was found to have damaged muscles. It was generally accepted that she had not shown her true form. Also, her jockey Luke Nolen carelessly dropped his hands and stopped riding in the last 50 yards of the race. Still, she won and kept her glorious record intact. "I think everyone associated with Black Caviar was taken with the public following she had gathered over here," Smith said. And we believe f we can get them to bring her back for the King's Stand, then the crowd on the first day of Royal Ascot would be significantly boosted. Traditionally, the first day offers the highest-quality racing and the lowest attendance for the week. Frankly, in betting terms, we are odds against getting her to return. We are certainly not favourite. But the good thing is that we are in the race," Smith added. Both the Lincoln meeting at Doncaster and a jumps card at Newbury were snowed off on Saturday, leaving Southwell's all-weather card as the only race meeting to take place in Britain. The William Hill Lincoln will now be run at Doncaster on Saturday. Meanwhile, Sunday's fixtures at Towcester (snow) and Taunton (waterlogging) have already been abandoned.
