Any thoughts of a mating between the unbeaten English champion, Frankel, and our unbeaten champion, Black Caviar, is a possibility.

Juddmonte Farms principle, Prince Khalid Abdullah, has agreed to around 20 coverings for mares to southern hemisphere time.

Much would depend on whether Black Caviar returned to Royal Ascot that is speculation at this stage, there is still a lot of water to go under the bridge.

In the event of a covering being arranged to southern hemisphere time, it is possible Black Caviar could be out of the country for up to four months, even longer.

Already we are hearing of how much her first foal would sell for in the sale ring, not as much as you might think, as our best performed race mares have an absolute appalling record in the breeding barn.

In many instances unraced mares have proved the better breeders, Helsinge, the dam of Black Caviar, never raced.

Wakeful was the only top race mare to produce a notable stakes winner, being the dam of Night Watch.

It is fitting to see the name of Darby Munro perpetuated with the running of the first race at Rosehill tomorrow named in his honour.

Munro was one of the greats of the Australian turf, a view shared by George Moore, Athol Mulley, Ray Selkrig and Rodney Johnson, former secretary of the Victoria Racing Club.

David Hugh (Darby) Munro was born at Glen Huntly in 1913, his father, Hugh, was a prominent Caulfield trainer before taking his family to Sydney where he trained at Randwick.

Darby, and his older brother Jim, were both apprenticed to their father Hugh; between them the brothers rode five Melbourne Cup winners.

Highly promising three year old Proisir has gone amiss, with his future now in jeopardy.

He would have been among the main contenders in the major races of his age group over the Sydney carnival.

Whether he will race again, or be put to stud, is yet to be considered, he would possibly require a little higher profile as a potential sire
