A £1 MILLION carrot has been dangled in front of the connections of Frankel and Black Caviar in an attempt to bring the world's two highest-rated horses together in the Qipco Sussex Stakes.
Won last year by Frankel, the 1m Sussex Stakes has a prize fund of £300,000 and the increasingly influential Sheikh Fahad, who sponsors the race, has promised to inject a further £700,000 into the pot if the two unbeaten stars line up at Goodwood on August 1.
The prospects of Frankel and Black Caviar clashing are likely to be determined by the programmes the pair are set, with a 1m2f campaign the idea for Frankel while Black Caviar is yet to race beyond 7f.

Mouthwatering if it happens.

BREEDERS' CUP Turf one-two St Nicholas Abbey and Sea Moon could clash again at Epsom in the Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup on June 2.
The pair were on Wednesday among 30 entries for the Investec-sponsored Group 1, in which St Nicholas Abbey produced a storming performance last year to nail Midday.
St Nicholas Abbey finished runner-up to Cirrus Des Aigles - also entered for the Coronation Cup - in the Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan last weekend, but Sea Moon has not raced since Churchill Downs last November.
