2011 Lightning Stakes

Black Caviar has claimed her ninth straight success and simply embarrassed her rivals in today's Group 1 Coolmore Lightning Stakes at Flemington

Despite the big build-up to her return and the pressure of maintaining her winning run, trainer Peter Moody, jockey Luke Nolen and especially the big dark mare were cool as ice.

Stepped well from the gates and ambled up to share the lead, running in a straight line up the middle of the course with roughing Leapfrog closest to the inside and Warm Love between them.

Second favourite Hay List edged closer at the 400m mark but Black Caviar was just kidding.

Nolen let her slide when Hay List got close and she left her rivals standing and set up a four length break.

You almost felt sorry for the others as Nolen eased her down nearly a furlong from home, cantering the final stages in the softest of Group 1 wins.

Making it a record 10th win from as many starts, Black Caviar dominated the Group One sprint with an electrifying turn of speed from the 400-metre mark.

In spite of her 58kg, Black Caviar cruised past the leader Crystal Lily and kept extending her lead, much to the delight of a big Flemington crowd.

"She's probably a worthy people's champion now," winning jockey Luke Nolen said.

This tribute features action images from Black Caviar's 9 th Victory in the Lightning Stakes and this record making 10 th victory in the Newmarket Handicap, which is limited to only 50 units worldwide.
