Brisbane will get its chance to 'host' a Black Caviar Day during the winter carnival. That's if Peter Moody sticks to his plan for a crack at the BTC Cup at Doomben with the mighty mare.

Brisbane will get its chance to 'host' a Black Caviar Day during the winter carnival. That's if Peter Moody sticks to his plan for a crack at the BTC Cup at Doomben with the mighty mare. She maintained her unbeaten record - 12 wins from 12 starts - with a powerful 2.75 lens victory in the TJ Smith 1200m at Randwick, clocking 1m 8.71s, and carving out the final 600m in 34.77s. A crowd of more than 25,000 saw the race. Some observers reckon it was a disappointing attendance. What would it have been without Black Caviar? Probably 15,000 and another indictment of Sydney racing.
It wasn't all smiles for Black Caviar's jockey Luke Nolen. Stewards gave him a six-meeting ban for causing interference in the Derby to King Gladiator near the 600 metre mark when he allowed Anacheeva to shift out. The suspension means he will miss his Sydney Cup ride on the Peter Moody-trained Macedonian. He returns to riding on April 28, in time for BC's next assignment in Brisbane.
