Black Caviar will put her name alongside a Hall of Famer whatever the result of Saturday’s $200,000 Group 2 Schweppes Schillaci Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield.

If the champion mare wins she will equal the immortal Phar Lap's career-best winning streak of 14 races, but if she loses she will become the highest-profile defeat since another Hall of Fame inductee, Ajax, went under at 40-1 on – or $1.025 – in the 1939 Rawson Stakes.

The good news for Black Caviar's ever-growing army of fans is that trainer Peter Moody is supremely confident it will be Phar Lap that the wondermare – a $1.06 favourite in TAB Sportsbet's Schillaci Stakes market – will be keeping company with on Saturday night.

“It's a frightening thought to think she could go quicker, but young Patty Bell who rides her most of her work and Luke (Nolen, raceday jockey) in a couple of gallops, they are adamant that she does appear stronger and seems to be enjoying it more,” Moody said.

“They're all there to be beat, but I'm happy with her. No doubt they'll go like cut cats, but the key to her not getting beat would be staying out of trouble one would imagine.

“I can fault her. She hasn't gone backwards, so if her previous form's good enough to win this she'll win.”

Black Caviar was good enough to win last year's Schillaci Stakes, launching her spring campaign with a soft 1.3-length win over Winter King and General Truce.

That was the first of eight wins for the 2010/11 season – the last six at Group 1 level – that saw her crowned the Australian Racehorse of the Year.

Black Caviar will jump from barrier five in the nine-horse PFD Food Services Schillaci Stakes that is Race 4 on the nine-event The Age Caulfield Guineas Day card, set to be run at 1.20pm.

She is the only runner under double-figure odds with flying Canberra filly Karuta Queen ($11) and stablemate Kulgrinda ($17) next in the betting.
