Did you hear Luke Nolan,s interview after the race ?    He said she would fit in to her mother twice over, ( or words very similar to that, )  so I am assuming he means she is small .

She is tiny, compared with her parents.

She is the size of a Shetland but she would win the Grand Annual at Warrnambool as a 3yo before winning the Caulfield Cup, Melbourne Cup and Zipping Classic in Spring.
Then next Season I can see Her winning the Everest, Carlyon Stakes, Futurity and to rap it up the Adelaide Cup

There we have it, not up to city grade.
Stick to the country grade methinks, might make a nice country Cup day feature sprint race horse

She weakened terribly today. I thought initially she gave a good kick but that kick barely lasted 50 metres. I thought there may have been an issue but nothing in the Stewards Report. Very squib like at this stage. Not a Sandown horse. You need to have a sustained turn of foot and a bit of heart to win there. She's better suited on smaller, tighter tracks.

Oscietra retired

With Black Caviar's second foal, Prince Of Caviar, set to debut this weekend, it's been revealed the mighty mare's first foal Oscietra has been retired to the breeding barn.

The three-year-old filly by Exceed And Excel was lightly raced, winning twice from just five starts amid considerable hype and attention throughout her short career.

The filly showed incredible speed in her races but did suffer from physical immaturity issues as a young horse and Lindsay Park co-trainer Ben Hayes explained this was one of the reasons why the decision was made to retire her.

"Neil Werrett [co-owner] spoke to us yesterday and the connections have decided to retire her," Hayes said.

"She's obviously extremely valuable as a broodmare and she's retired structurally sound, but she was still feeling her knees and the ownership group believe she's more valuable at stud now, as a two-time winner from five starts."

While we've seen Oscietra race for the last time, Hawkes Racing and connections are hoping to see a big showing from her half-brother Prince Of Caviar when he debuts over 1200m at Ladbrokes Park Sandown on Saturday.

The son of Sebring has drawn barrier five of 12, which is key to his chances in the opinion of the Hawkes stable, who mention while he has shown professionalism on a day-to-day basis there is still the chance the unraced colt will display greenness in his first start.
