Calling greatness: Greg Miles reflects on Black Caviar

9 September 2024 Written by VRC

Greg Miles OAM had the honour of calling many of Black Caviar’s legendary race wins. Here, he shares his insights and memories of the great mare.

Describing her as “phenomenal,” Miles highlighted her effortless control and her ability to transcend the sport. According to Miles, once the racing world recognised her potential, it became less about if she would win and more about what he would say when she did.

Reflecting on Black Caviar’s performances at Flemington, including her three Lightning Stakes victories and a memorable comeback from 1400 to 1000 metres, Miles notes that her wins were not just impressive but a testament to her greatness. He likens watching her in action to witnessing a cinematic masterpiece of horse racing, admiring her smooth stride and the effortless way she left competitors behind.
