World champion sprinter Black Caviar has a weight problem – she’s 70kg over her racing weight of 470kg.
In fact, she’s so overweight that she is having trouble fitting into her famous compression suit, the Herald Sun reports.
The first lady of the turf, who is preparing to defend her 22-race unbeaten career, is being targeted to run the race named in her honour, the Black Caviar Lightning Stakes over 1000m, at Flemington on February 16.
The paper says Black Caviar is accustomed to running fast, but she won’t go on a fast to lose weight.
“Instead she simply will have to do the hard yards before, hopefully, she shows her broad beam once again to her rivals,” said the paper.
