Australian sprinter Black Caviar stretched her record unbeaten run to 21 by winning the gang One Goodwood at Morphettville, Adelaide.
It was the five-year-olds final race before flying to England for Junes Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Jockey Luke Nolen, who eased the mare to victory by greater than a length, said: "We were never out of second gear."
Earlier within the week, trainer Peter Moody rejected claims that Black Caviar needed to prove herself at Royal Ascot.
When it was suggested to him that his mare had not beaten any major international horses in Australia, Moody replied: "You've got never seen anything like this horse before.
Did ?
The global sprint challenge is a ten-race series in six countries. Three races manifest in England - Junes Kings Stand Stakes and Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Darley July Cup at Newmarket
"It might be an absolute tragedy if she went there [to Ascot] and got beaten by your B-grade sprinters for half the prize money and [travelling] three-quarters of how world wide."
Moody also warned that he does not run Black Caviar if she was not 100% fit following her flight to England.
"If I take her each of the excess of there and she or he shouldn't be right I wont run her for the sake of running," he said.
Black Caviar was installed as favourite by bookmakers for the race, prior to local sprinters Bated Breath and Hoof It.
The mare may also run at Newmarket on Bastille Day within the July Cup, another leg of the worldwide Sprint Challenge.
