The unbeaten mare, Black Caviar more than justified her $1.28 quote by demolishing Australia\u2019s finest sprinters in the $750,000 Lightning Stakes at Flemington today.<br \/>Such was the display that seasoned racegoers could not recall a performance of that ilk and now the question is, who can beat her?<br \/>Spare a thought though for Hay List. With his gutsy second \u2013 still two lengths clear of the third horse \u2013 he remains the second best sprinter in the world.<br \/>From an Eliza Park perspective, it could not have been a better result \u2026 Black Caviar is by Victoria\u2019s Champion Sire Bel Esprit and is closely related to up and coming stallion Magnus (whose first crop of yearlings are selling in 2011 and topped the recent Inglis Sydney Classic), while Hay List is a son of Eliza Park\u2019s shuttler Statue of Liberty.<br \/>Yet, as important a result as this is for Eliza Park, this is also a huge leap forward for the Victorian thoroughbred breeding industry.<br \/>As Black Caviar\u2019s trainer Peter Moody said post race \u2013 dispelling the fears of those who feel his Champion mare will be lost to overseas racing \u2013 \u201cthere are plenty of televisions around the world and, besides, they can always jump on a plane!\u201d<br \/>Victoria \u2026 the eyes of the world are upon us!<\/p>\n<p><i>Eliza Park will have a 2011 service nomination to both Bel Esprit and Statue of Liberty auctioned at the Inglis Sales Complex on Sunday 27 February with the proceeds going to Living Legends, the International Home of Rest for Champion Horses.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bronwenhealy.com.au\/\">Bronwen Healy<\/a><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bel Esprit\u2019s Caviar serves up phenomenal Lightning win \u2026and Statue of Liberty\u2019s flyer is still second on the List 1 \u2026 2 \u2026 thank you!
