There will be 13 vying for take down the champion, Black Caviar, in the race named after her  - Group I Black Caviar Lightning Stakes (1000m).

Black Caviar will shoot for her 23 in a row at her first run since her win in the Group I Diamond Jubilee Stakes (6f) at Royal Ascot in Saturday's $500,000 event.

She will be one of three Moody-trained runners in the Stakes with top line sprinters Moment of Change & Golden Archer joining her.

Considering Moods has stated before that maintaining her unbeaten record is #1 priority, it would be interesting to know if the pilots of his other runners will be told not to beat her ! would love to see a close/similar finish to when she raced in the UK, ...
