BLACK Caviar has extended her winning run to 22 races by the narrowest margin at Royal Ascot.. Could she be another great Austrailan champion like Phar lap?  ? |

...and I thought it was a hard drive made by Western Digital.
ps. three of Phar Lap's grandparents were British horses.

Going backwards, possibility of Arabian ancestors

Hye, definitely so, all (our style) racehorses are Arabian, as far as I know. I say our style as perhaps those in such as Mongolia have different origins.

Going on 40 year old memories, I was told that Thoroughbreds had Arabian horse blood in them to give them stamina and spirit. We had purebred Arabian horses when I was a kid and I tend to believe that is true. Having worked at a racetrack with Thoroughbreds for one summer, their temperaments seem pretty similar to me even though they are separate breeds. Most Arabian horses are small in stature but pack a heck of a punch for their size. Anyway, Black Caviar sounds like a very good horse and I hope she has a long and successful career.
