Patrons attending Caulfield’s free-entry Festival Family Day on February 11 will not only be treated to the presence of Black Caviar, but two other Living Legends of the turf: Silent Witness and Apache Cat.

Three-time World Champion Sprinter Silent Witness will lead Black Caviar and her opponents on to the track for the Sportingbet C.F. Orr Stakes, a fitting event given that Black Caviar will be out to surpass Silent Witness’s record of 17 consecutive wins from debut.

Melbourne Racing Club Chief Executive Officer, Alasdair Robertson, said the Club couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of hosting three bona fide superstars.

“Having Silent Witness and Apache Cat joining a modern-day champion at Caulfield just adds another dimension again to what already shapes as a sensational day,” Mr Robertson said.

“Apache Cat was an unforgettable racehorse that developed a cult following during his career so it will be great to see that baldy face again.

“But Australian racing fans should look particularly forward to seeing Silent Witness, an Australian-bred that was crowned World Champion Sprinter three times but never raced here.

“That Black Caviar is set to outdo his record of 17 straight wins from debut just adds even more romance to the occasion.”

In line with the Melbourne Racing Club’s Caulfield Festival Family Day theme for the February 11 race day, patrons of all ages will have the opportunity to mingle and take photos with the former star pair, who will be situated alongside a Black Caviar-themed marquee containing a photo booth, murals for signing, and other merchandise.

With the public granted free admission on February 11, Melbourne Racing Club members can also expect some perks of their own.  This includes a special on pots of beer and Yellowglen Piccolos, which will be on offer exclusively to members for 99 cents and $1.99 respectively from 12-1pm.
