Thanks for the insight. Will the Sun be rising in the East or the West tomorrow?

It will almost certainly rise in the East and set in the West.

Her lifetime past performances:

Tremendous margins of victory considering turf sprints are difficult races to break open. Virtually all wins coming in open Graded Stakes level against males.

Hard to get very excited about a turf sprinter, but what she did is mind-boggling.

Better than Zenyatta

I was privileged to have seen her at Royal Ascot last year - an unbelievably brilliant experience (despite he being well below her best!).

I was looking at the photo album on Shadai's FB page to see Dalicia (Animal Kingdom's dam). On a picture of Ollagua, they were talking about her size in comparison to Black Caviar and mentioned BC's weight as 620 kg (1366.87 lbs). Seriously? She's nearly 1400 lbs? Geez. Anybody got a girth measurement? I'm probably just really late to the "daaaayum" club, but wow.
