She won.
She hardly got a call towards the end there coming through on the rail, lol. Good for her!

The upcoming Race 3 at Geelong in Australia will feature the great Black Caviar's first foal, Oscietra, in her 2nd race. I think she's three, although keeping track of when the Southern Hemisphere horses change ages is...interesting? :oops: :P

She won. :D She may not look a lot like her mum (takes after her sire, maybe?), but runs a lot like her. Kicked in the stretch and just opened up on the field.

I think Oscietra looks like a very feminine version of Exceed and Excel, even when running she looks more like dad than mom and she has his "pretty" head. Glad to get this win out of the way!

Oh and, yes, she turned 3 on Aug 1. Her actual 3 year old birthday will be September 12.

Here's a picture of her.

Thanks for the photo. I thought her build was much leaner than Nelly's, but that shot shows powerful hindquarters...and that part looks a LOT like Mum. :D
I'm confused...why do Aussie horses turn on Aug. 1? With the Northern and Southern Hemispheres having opposite seasons in a year, there should be six months difference between NH and SH TBs. Jan. 1 through June 30 is the first half of the year; July 1 through Dec. 31 is the second half.
:? Shouldn't their 'birthday' be on July 1?

LOL, I could just say "since when do a lot of things about horse racing make sense," but I've wondered the same thing myself. I've been told various reasons from "it's based on the natural foaling seasons between the two hemispheres (and a lengthy lecture about earth's tilted axis...exposure to the sun)" to "breed registries made decrees independently of one another." Maybe others can pipe in on this.

Exceed and Excel has powerful hind quarters too, but I'm mostly referring to her general body style and head, especially those cute ears. But I've seen him in the flesh and haven't seen her.

I'm fairly certain it has to do with their breeding season which starts in September. I like their breeding/foaling rules better than the US. As long as your mare is covered during the defined "Covering Season", you aren't penalized if she foals early. However if you breed outside the official covering season, you are penalized.

Here are Australia's rules:
Covering Season – a nine-month period extending from 1 September
until 31 May next. It commences one month after the start of the
racing season and ends two months before the end of the racing
season. All coverings of a Thoroughbred mare by a stallion must be
restricted to the official covering season if the owner wants the foal to
be officially one year old on the 1 August that follows one month after
the end of the foaling season

Foaling Season – the twelve-month period extending from 1 July until
30 June next. It commences one month before the start of the racing
season and ends one month before the end of the racing season
A foal born to a mare whose first covering by a stallion is restricted to
the official covering season, will be officially aged one year old (a
yearling) on the 1 August which follows one month after the end of
the foaling season in which it was born (i.e. it will commence its
second official year of life on that day)

A foal born to a mare which was first covered by a stallion, at any
time outside the official covering season, will be officially aged one
year old on the day it was born and will become a two year old on
the 1 August which follows one month after the end of the foaling
season in which it was (i.e. it will commence its third official year
of life on that day)

California Chrome's full sister wins at Del Mar
https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing ... at-del-mar

Also, Rachel Alexandra's little bro Fayeq fired a bullet this morning in preparation for the Travers:
By Malibu Moon, the 3-year-old half brother to Hall of Famer Rachel Alexandra worked in company with 3-year-old maiden Last Stage, easily putting away his workmate to complete the move in :47.36 under jockey Luis Saez. The work was the fastest of 53 at the distance. NYRA clockers caught him galloping out to five furlongs in 1:01 1/5.

"He worked fabulous and galloped out great," McLaughlin said. "We're pointing for the Travers."

The breeze was his first since beating a talented group of sophomores by 3 1/2 lengths in a 1 1/8-mile allowance July 26. That victory was the second straight for Fayeq, who broke his maiden by 2 3/4 lengths in his third try June 11 at Belmont Park.

"We have to take a chance because of his pedigree and because he's a really nice horse," McLaughlin said. "We want to give him a try. It's a big step up, but we feel like he deserves the chance. ... And if we can get him to switch leads, that would help us a lot."

Anonymity, the full sister to Hansen, just won the 6th at Del Mar, a 6 1/2-furlong MSW on the dirt, in impressive fashion. She may not look much like her brother (she's bright chestnut), but she can sure run.

At least he'll never have to deal with the burden of being undefeated. I never mind when a horse doesn't win their debut, as long as they a) show some interes and run well, b) look like they have significant room to improve off the initial effort or c) look like they have absolutely no clue what's going on, but come on at the end.

Mo'ne Davis faded to 4th after leading much of the way.

Mendelssohn (Scat Daddy), the sale-topping 1/2 bro to Into Mischief and Beholder, tries again tomorrow to break his maiden. He is in the 14:30 the Curragh, the G1 Phoenix S. undercard. Honor Code's 1/2 brother, Declarationofpeace (War Front), runs in the big race, along with stablemate U S Navy Flag (War Front x Misty for Me), a full brother to Roly Poly.
