Celebrating the legacy of the great Black Caviar.
Black Caviar Lightning Race Day was the opener to the Flemington Racing Spectacular, and the first of four thrilling Group 1 race days in February and March.
We celebrated the legacy of the great Black Caviar whose stellar career consisted of 25 undefeated races. Some of the world’s fastest horses lined up in the $1,000,000 Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m), named in the legendary mare’s honour.
The Flemington Fareground made an exciting return, transformed into an ultimate resort style experience.
