Re: Horse Racing
Caviar scrapes home in Jubilee.

Black Caviar preserved her astounding unbeaten record with a desperately narrow triumph in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The Australian sprinting sensation secured her 22nd consecutive victory with a dramatic head defeat of Moonlight Cloud.
It was a remarkable finish, however, as regular jockey Luke Nolen, who had looked in supreme control from the outset, appeared to ease down his mount close to the line. The 1-6 favourite still held on for a famous victory after a short wait for the photo-finish.
