Black Caviar 18/04/09 (3)

Black Caviar Has Them On Toast
First starter Black Caviar lived up to her trial form when she cleared out to win the Cromwell Handicap at Flemington by 5 lengths from Kwassa Kwassa and Take The Rap this afternoon.
Ridden by Perth apprentice Jarrad Noske, the pair produced a perfect result for their joint debut at Flemington.
"I gave her a bit of a squeeze out of the gates and she was straight on the bridle", Noske said.
"This might have been the start of two good careers", observed Black Caviar's trainer, Peter Moody.

The 16 year old Noske, who is apprenticed to his mother Jodie in Perth, is on loan to Moody for three months. Already the rider of over 100 winners in Perth, Noske is keen to see how he fares against the strong riders in Victoria.
"He came over and had a week with us a couple of months ago and I was really impressed with his attitude", Moody said.
"I met with his mother and had a good chat to her and he was keen to come over."
"He seems a real nice kid and on top of that he seems to have a hell of a lot of talent."
"He's only a young fellow so its all ahead of him like the horse."

Moody went to $210,000 to buy the daughter of Bel Esprit at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale. Part of the attraction for Moody was that her dam, Helsinge is a half sister to former top sprinter Magnus, which he took to England last year for Ascot.
"She's a smashing type of filly, a big strong thing", Moody said.
"She's out of a good family."
Black Caviar showed talent right from the start and won a recent trial at Cranbourne hard held by 5 lengths.
"She's always showed nice ability and you saw that at the trials", Moody said.
"She went to those a bit new and she's probably come here a bit new too."
"I was concerned with the straight."
"If she was at Caulfield or Moonee Valley I would have thought she was probably a good thing."
"It can be overawing in the straight for young horses and I think you can see in the last furlong she did get a bit lost but she did have enough on the field."Having started off her career in such impressive style, Moody is keen not to ask too much too soon of her.
"She's a damn good filly", he said.
"I'm not sure where she'll go."
"We'll find a similar type of race here in a few weeks and then I think we'll be getting her ready for something in the Spring."


Noske Strikes For New Boss
Star West Australian apprentice Jarrad Noske landed his first Flemington winner on the first day of a three-month stint with trainer Peter Moody aboard the talented first starter Black Caviar.
Both 16-year-old Noske and the two-year-old filly, having her first start in the Cromwell Hcp (1000m), impressed the Caulfield trainer.
Noske, apprenticed to his mother Jodie, is only 16 but has shown abundant talent in 18 months of riding in races.
"He came over and had a week with us a couple of months ago and I was very impressed with his attitude," Moody said.
"I met his mother and had a good chat to her and he was keen to come over. He seems a real nice kid and on top of that he seems to have a hell of a lot of talent.
"He's only a young fellow and it's all ahead of him, like the horse. It might be the start of two good careers."
Noske is Perth's leading apprentice so far this season with 36 winners and is third on the overall list behind William Pike and Troy Turner.
He finished fifth at his first ride on Saturday aboard the Lee Freedman-trained Europa Point ($3 fav) who appeared to have every chance behind the winner Absolute Faith in the Community Raceday Hcp (1400m).
Noske, who said he had ridden 52-53 metropolitan winners and recently had his city allowance reduced from 2kg to 1.5kg, had already ridden a winner in Melbourne aboard the Gerald Ryan-trained Equable at Moonee Valley on February 20 in a leg of the National Apprentice Jockey Challenge.
Black Caviar was a $210,000 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale purchase and impressed with a five-length win in a Cranbourne barrier trial in 46.10s on March 30.
Sent out the $3 favourite, she sat off early leader Miss Papier before dashing clear for a five-length win over topweight Kwassa Kwassa with Take The Rap a neck away third.
"She's a slashing type of filly, a big strong thing out of the same family as Magnus, hence my attraction to her," Moody said.
"She's always showed nice ability and went to the trials a bit new and came here a bit new too.
"She was probably a good thing here but the straight course can be a bit overawing for young horses and she did get a bit lost over the last furlong but still had enough on the field."
"She's a damn good filly and might have one more run before she goes out and look for something for her in the spring."


Moody drools over Black Caviar's debut win

IT MIGHT have been an off-season meeting but trainer Peter Moody was full of optimism after the win of his first starter Black Caviar in the Cromwell Handicap (1000 metres) yesterday.
Black Caviar was coming into the race on the back of an impressive barrier trial win and was perfectly handled by Western Australian apprentice Jarrad Noske who has just started a three-month loan with Moody.
"He seems a nice kid and has a hell of a lot of talent. I really like the horse and it could be the start of two good careers," Moody said.
Moody said he had seen Black Caviar, who is by leading young sire Bel Esprit from a half-sister to his former star sprinter Magnus, at last year's Premier Yearling sale and immediately fell in love with her.
"I went and sourced some clients to buy her because I didn't have the money I thought I'd need to buy her," said Moody, who had to go to $210,000 to secure her.
Noske had Black Caviar ($3 favourite) perfectly placed outside the leader Miss Papier and once he let her go inside the 300-metre mark she drew right away to win by five lengths in a sharp 56.63 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than Secret Flyer in the open sprint.
Noske, who turns 17 in October, has been riding for 18 months and has ridden about 50 city winners in Perth, where he is apprenticed to his mother, Jodie.
Moody said he was unlikely to take the filly to Brisbane over the winter but would like to give her one more run in similar company before putting her away for the spring.
