Australian wonder horse Black Caviar romps to 18th successive win, and sets sights immediately on No19 Moody said that Black Caviar, rated just 4lb inferior to Frankel in the World Thoroughbred Rankings, could now run in Saturday's five-furlong Lightning Stakes at Flemington. Several trainers bypassed the Orr Stakes in order to avoid a clash with the champion mare, who has been acclaimed the best of her sex ever to have raced in Australia. The attraction of the Lightning Stakes is that it is a leg of the $1 million Global Sprint Challenge. By winning in her home country and then either Dubai or Japan, before or after her proposed visit to Royal Ascot in June, should give her enough points to win the lucrative incentive. "Also, she loves the straight course at Flemington," Moody said. She would have to gallop at home next weekend in any case, so why not gallop for the money? Black Caviar sat poised behind the leaders throughout and then raced to the lead at the top of the home straight. Yet again, she never looked under pressure at any stage. This first step up to seven furlongs was not an issue as she easily beat the Caulfield Cup winner Southern Speed.
