Oscietra (Aus) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}), the first foal out of legendary Australian sprinter Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}), will make her first public appearance at the Flemington jump outs either this Friday or next, according to Racing.com. The 2-year-old Oscietra is trained by David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig at Lindsay Park in Euroa, and Luke Nolen, who rode Black Caviar to 14 of her 15 Group 1 wins, traveled to the training centre on Monday to sit on the filly for the first time.
“I like her–she's got a temperament just like her mother,” Nolen told Racing.com. “She's a bit smaller than she was at the same stage of her career but she moves like a bigger horse. She's quite deceiving.”
“She does everything very professionally so if she stands up, she'll get to the races this time in I'd say,” Nolen added. “The only thing you don't like about her is the fact that she's Black Caviar's foal, as she's going to be held to a fairly unrealistic standard for most of her career.”
Black Caviar has produced two other foals: an as-yet unnamed yearling colt by Sebring (Aus), and this year she produced a filly foal by Snitzel (Aus).
