Black Caviar 'eating, sleeping normally' for Ascot
June 14, 2012LONDON (AP) - The handlers of Black Caviar say ``everything has gone to plan'' in the lead up to Royal Ascot next week for the undefeated Australian mare.
The horse has been ``eating and sleeping normally'' ahead of the six-furlong Group One Diamond Jubilee Stakes race on June 23 outside London.
It will be Black Caviar's first international race.
The 5-year-old mare, owned by a consortium of families and friends in Melbourne, is unbeaten in 21 starts.
Black Caviar broke an Australian record for consecutive wins that lasted nearly a century - Desert Gold won 19 consecutive races from 1915 to 1917 and Gloaming did it from 1919 to 1921.
