Veteran turf scribbler Max Presnell has put his toe into the water with some niggling criticism of Black Caviar's victory at Moonee Valley. In the Sydney Morning Herald, Max opines: 'Black Caviar is only flesh and blood after all. Her Moonee Valley triumph on Friday night was very strong. Alas, it lacked the same fluency and authority of her previous Newmarket win at Flemington.'
Bart's firing again...Just as the autumn carnival hits top gear, master blaster Bart Cummings is pulling out his big guns. His first starter Salade scored a sizzling win on debut in the Grp 2 ATC Pago Pago Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday and then Bart produced another likely star at Warwick Farm on Sunday - Empress Rock won with authority by almost 3 lens over 1000m. And guess who owns her? That's right - she's raced by Bart and Dato Tan Chin Nam! Empress Rock is the first foal of Empress Jade, a metropolitan winning half-sister by Encosta de Lago to champion sprinter Silent Witness and Grp 1placed stakes-winner Sister Madly.
