Champion mare Black Caviar will leave a lasting legacy on Australian racing and it’s only a matter of time until a Group One race is named after her and online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed Caulfield as the $1.50 favourite to be the first to do so.
Flemington is next in the market at $3.00 with Moonee Valley at $6.00 and Sandown at $13.
“Caulfield is where she is trained but she’s won Group One after Group One at Flemington so it will be interesting to see where the punters go,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“Black Caviar’s impact on Australian racing is extraordinary. Surely she’s worthy of a statue too, as they did with Makybe Diva at Flemington.”
Royal Ascot, where Black Caviar will contest the Diamond Jubilee Stakes on June 23, is the $51 outsider to be the first track to name a race after her.
Black Caviar remains at $1.25 to win the Diamond Jubilee Stakes with Moonlight Rock ($9.00) the only other runner in single figures.
