Top mare Secret Admirer could be in for a sensational autumn...Jockey Brenton Avdulla was glowing in his praise after the mare's trial at Randwick on Monday. She ran only 6th but went to the line in cruise mode over the 854m. Avdulla says: 'She felt enormous...Her goal is the Doncaster and she went that good today that maybe she won't need another trial.' Secret Admirer may return to racing in the Grp 3 Southern Cross Stakes (1200m) at Warwick Farm on Feb 25.
Bring it on! Black Caviar will chase her 19th consecutive win at Flemington on Saturday in the Grp 1 $750,000 Lightning Stakes (1000m) - barring any setbacks this week. The Peter Moody stable says Australian racing's pin up girl has pulled up perfectly following her triumph in Saturday's Grp 1 C.F.Orr Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield. Regular post-race inspections by her vet and chiropractor on Monday morning were all positive, paving the way for connections to pursue a defence of her Lightning Stakes crown. "She has pulled up super and will be nominated today with the intention of running on Saturday if all progresses well this week," Moody's Racing Manager, Jeff O'Connor, said. "We have up until Saturday morning to decide if she runs, but the signs are all very positive at this stage and we are pressing on with the intention of running her."
