    The Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Coolmore Stud Stakes winning Street Boss colt\u00a0Tentyris ($2.60F)<\/strong>\u00a0was too good fresh making up ground late in a barnstorming finish thanks to a gun ride by Damian Lane to beat home his older rivals first-up for another Group 1 Flemington success in the\u00a02026 Black Caviar Lightning results<\/strong>\u00a0on Saturday. His win over the brave filly My Gladiola has him on target for a shot at the Group 1 $2 million Newmarket Handicap on March 7 pending a weight decision by the handicappers.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Registered as the Lighting Stakes<\/strong>, the Black Caviar Lighting is run over a short 1,000 metres each February at Flemington Racecourse. Offering $1,000,000 in prize money the event attracts a star line-up of early season sprinters, many of which contested the previous spring’s $20 million The Everest<\/a> in Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2022 the previous year’s The Everest champion Nature Strip ran second in an upset 2021 Black Caviar Lightning result after missing the kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This race can be seen as an excellent lead in to the 1,200 metre Newmarket Handicap, which takes place in March and Black Caviar (2011), Lankan Rupee (2014), Redkirk Warrior (2018) and all recently completed the Lightning Stakes – Newmarket Group 1 double <\/strong>at HQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2021 the reigning Australian Horse of the Year Nature Strip won the Black Caviar Lightning and continued on to add a host of other top level wins to his incredible sprint record including that year’s The Everest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nature Strip returned to run second in the 2022 Black Caviar Lightning behind his stablemate Home Affairs in an upset before going on to win Sydney’s Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes<\/a> for a record-equalling third time and dominate Royal Ascot’s Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes in the UK by over five lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2023 Nature Strip returned as the odds-on favourite only to run a disappointing sixth behind gun filly Coolangatta in the Black Caviar Lightning results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Skybird became the longest-priced Black Caviar Lightning Stakes winner<\/strong> in the race\u2019s 71-year history when winning at $26 in 2025!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
