BLACK CAVIAR #21
They
came to Morphettville in their thousands; they’d come to see the star,
Thirty
thousand strong packed in to cheer, the champion Black Caviar.
Only
eight other horses lined up beside her to test this great mare out,
At
a fifty to one on or tighter the bookmakers were in no doubt.
Well
she won the race in a canter; Nolen never touched her with the whip,
Although
We’re Gonna Rock tried his heart out, he certainly had a dip.
Surely
though the best is yet to come, she hasn’t been extended thus far,
One
day they’ll scorch the turf beneath the mighty Black Caviar.
Some
British scribe was sceptical and stated that she hasn’t beaten much,
Now
I presume this man is educated, but wow, he’s certainly out of touch.
Eleven
group one’s to her credit, come on, she’s the best you’ve ever seen,
And
she is heading your way mate, to parade and race before the Queen.
And
you expect her to go to you but I wonder why won’t you come to us?
Okay
it’s off to Royal Ascot where she’s bound to cause a fuss.
On
the 23rd of June our Nellie is scheduled step out and take on the
world,
In
the Diamond Jubilee you’ll see Australia’s excitement machine unfurled.
But
it’s sure a hell of a plane trip for her to get from here to over there,
So
Australian fans are hoping she is relaxed and calm while in the air.
Because
we want her to arrive healthy and fit the English turf then to grace,
And
leave the naysayers speechless once they’ve seen her race.
Yeah
your prize-money and trophies she will come and plunder,
She’ll
definitely leave you breathless this champion from down under.
The
salmon and black colours she has made famous on racetracks over here,
And
it will be a privilege for you folk to see her in the Northern hemisphere.
