Re: Black Caviar
Now this is interesting news:
Hay List entered for top Singapore sprint
Game Group I Newmarket Handicap winner Hay List heads the Australian contingent in the entries for the Group I KrisFlyer International Sprint (1200m) in Singapore.
Hay List is the highest-rated of six Australian-trained entries for the $S1 million event. Group I winners Atomic Force and Albert The Fat are also among the entries as is the Chris Waller-trained galloper Red Tracer.
Hay List could clash with local champion Rocket Man in the KrisFlyer International Sprint. Rocket Man is one of 19 entries from the host nation in the prestigious sprint.
Rocket Man became the third Australian-bred winner from four editions of the race when successful last year. Australian star Takeover Target won the inaugural running of the Kranji event in 2008.
Michael Freedman has entered the Blue Diamond Stakesplacegetter Masthead for the international sprint. Masthead flogged lowly opposition at his Singapore debut earlier this month.
European-trained sprinters hold 10 of the 61 entries for the Kris Flyer International Sprint while Regally Ready and Smiling Tiger head a strong US contingent entered for the race.
Regally Ready won the Grade I Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint last year while Smiling Tiger has three Grade I victories to his name in his homeland.
Hong Kong Sprint winner Lucky Nine and Curren Chan, the winner of the Grade I Sprinter's Stakes in Japan, are also in line for a start in the KrisFlyer International Sprint.
Not a certainty to go over there but I would interested if he did.

Re: Black Caviar
Well how about that:
Star sprinter Hay List is being closely monitored after undergoing surgery for colic at the Randwick Equine Centre.
The winner of last month's Newmarket Handicap at Flemington, Hay List was being prepared for a tilt at the Group I TJ Smith Stakes in two weeks.
Following the Newmarket, Hay List was beaten by three-year-old Foxwedge in the William Reid Stakes after going into the race following an injury scare.
Glyn Schofield rode Hay List in trackwork at Gosford on Wednesday and said he his gallop had been below par which he put down to the horse throwing a shoe.

Re: Black Caviar
Black Caviar makes her return to racing this weekend in the 1200m (6f) Sportingbet Classic Gr1 in Adelaide. Basically just a little warm up to get some fitness for the England trip.
Champion mare Black Caviar has drawn barrier three of 10 for her Adelaide debut in Saturday's Sportingbet Classic.
A sell-out crowd of 30,000 is expected at Morphettville Racecourse to cheer on the world's highest rated sprinter as she attempts to stretch her winning streak to 20.
Plans for Black Caviar are for two starts in Adelaide before she flies to England to take on Europe's best in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.
The glamour mare is the $1.05 favourite on Saturday.

1. She has an egg in her feed every day.
2. She was born on August 18, 2006, at 5:20am.
3. Her name was chosen by co-owner Pam Hawkes because Black Caviar's grandmother was Scandinavia, which is the International hub of black caviar.
4. Her colours of Salmon with black dots were designed by co-owner Gary Wilkie's daughter, Shannon.
5. She was lot 520, assigned by Swettenham Stud, and sold for $210,000 at the 2008 Melbourne Inglis Premier Yearling sales.
6. She always has first use of the Caulfield track for work.
7. Only once, at her first start, has Black Caviar not started odds-on. She won her debut at $3.
8. Only one horse has come within a length of her at the post. Wanted went within 0.8 lengths at her first start in Group company in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes (1200m) at Flemington in September 2009 after she blundered the start and tore muscles in her chest. She raced only once during the next 57 weeks.
