Qipco attempts to lure Frankel and Black Caviar with £1 million Sussex Stakes Qipco have offered to increase the prize money of the one-mile contest on August 1 from £300,000 to seven figures in an attempt to lure the two unbeaten stars. Frankel and Black Caviar are officially the two best horses in the world and, between them, they have won 28 races from 28 starts. Black Caviar has never raced beyond seven furlongs, but connections are confident she would get a mile. Qipco's Sheikh Fahad Al Thani, the owner of last year's Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden, said: "In their respective home countries, Frankel and Black Caviar have ignited levels of public interest matched only by true champions of the past. The sport is blessed to have two such outstanding horses competing at the same time and consequently we felt it would be remiss not to make every effort to try to bring about the race everyone wants to see. The Sussex Stakes is arguably the only realistic chance of the two horses meeting, and we are delighted to make the gesture of increasing the prize fund to £1 million as an incentive to the connections of both horses. Goodwood managing director Adam Waterworth said: "In 2011, we witnessed the 'Duel on the Downs" between Frankel and Canford Cliffs, which generated a huge amount of publicity and was a great success for us and Qipco. A meeting between Frankel and Black Caviar at this year's Glorious Goodwood Festival would be the international racing event of the year, and we are very grateful to Sheikh Fahad and Qipco for their commitment.
