Thread: No Black Caviar thread? Well, here it is.

    No Black Caviar thread? Well, here it is.

    I know that BC races at Ascot tomorrow (Sat.)

    Can anyone tell me what time (East Coast) the race will be run?

    Re: No Black Caviar thread? Well, here it is.

    The Diamond Jubilee is set to go as Race 3, at 10:45am ET.

    Depending on where you'll get your video, I recommend tuning in around 9am to watch the Queen's arrival, and then the races get underway at 9:30am.

    Re: No Black Caviar thread? Well, here it is.

    Can I bank on these sorts of things (including the Queen's arrival, that sounds wonderful) being covered on HRTV or TVG?
    And listening to some big out a' town jasper, hearing him tell about horse-race gamblin'.
    Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on a horse!

    Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!

    Probably not, but can't say for sure. Have only been watching through ADW this week.

    Your best bet would be either the direct feed from GBI (not sure where it's available for free, if anywhere), through RTN, or from an ADW provider.

    I'd anticipate one of the two major networks (if not both) will cover the race, not as sure about the Queen's arrival, etc.

    I look foward to the redux of the Frankel thread after she wins.

    (In the event anyone is looking for a source other than HRTV/TVG, I'm cross-posting this from the Diamond Jubilee Stakes thread in the Foreign Racing forum. B.C.'s race is at 10:45 a.m. (EDT) Sat.)
    This Australian news site is promoting a live stream via Sky World Racing World.

    PETER Moody's unbeaten superstar Black Caviar will carry the hopes of a nation when she lines up in the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes (1200m).

    The unbeaten mare will start from barrier 15 in the prestigious sprint feature, where she will not only tackle England's best but also several other international raiders.

    Black Caviar has won all of her 21 starts but is trying to win her first overseas.
    Watch a LIVE STREAM of Sky World Racing World's (channel 521 on Foxtel and Austar) coverage of her race time at 12.45am Sunday (AEST).
    * Please note, stream will start at 12.10am (AEST)..............

    I took a peek at the very vague programming scheduled on my guide and TVG says they will be covering Ascot starting at 8 AM central time, program name "International Racing." Fingers crossed it's live and with additional coverage. Thanks for the alternatives!

    HRTV says it's covering "racing from around the world" at the same time in half hour bits, so it might also work if it's all you have.

    HRTV is supposed to be carrying the Royal Ascot meet. Not sure when they'll start showing it but it says on the website that they're livestreaming it so you can least catch it there.

    Really, really, glad run tomorrow is a hop, skip, and a jump from my apartment as long as I leave the area right after the run I should make it back in time for the race.

    How is the weather over there? Any heavy rain expected in the next 15 hours?

    It would be anticlimactic if the condition of the course resulted in many scratches.

    Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.

    Are there any comments from the trainer about how BC has been training?

    Good luck Black Caviar. Show them your heels Nelly!

    HRTV and TVG have been covering Royal Ascot all week. I think they only showed the Queen's arrival on the first day though.

    Good thing we don't really have any top class turf sprinters that we'd insist she run against to prove her mettle.

    Um...

    She's never beaten Chamberlain Bridge, California Flag, or Perfect Officer. She's really not that good.

    Wait, I got it -- she's nothing until she runs on dirt against Amazombie and The Factor

    The only thing I wanted from Zenyatta was a more aggressive schedule that wasn't predicated on 4-5 cupcake races against restricted competition and then one grand finale at the end.

    Given the schedules mainted by both Black Caviar and Frankel, neither is hiding in restricted competition and each are taking on all challengers willing to face them. Black Caviar just traveled 10,000 miles to chase her biggest competition. No comparision between the handling of either of these and Zenyatta.
