2011 TJ Smith Stakes

Superlatives are now in short supply when describing Black Caviar, who produced another outstanding performance. The champion mare had an average start but recovered to third in the early stages while Hay List set a hot pace up front. Coming into the straight, Black Caviar was four lengths behind the front runner but once she concentrated on the job at hand she mowed down the leader and won it going away. Hay List was a deserved second with Triple Honour a very distant third.
