Black Caviar won 25 times from 25 starts in a stellar racing career including the champion mare’s famous victory in the Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2012
Black Caviar won 25 times from 25 starts in a stellar racing career, who won the hearts of Australians with her unbeaten run of 25 victories, has passed away the day before her 18th birthday.
In her distinctive salmon pink and black-spotted colours, Black Caviar came to transcend the track. Australia became bewitched by the story of how rogue trainer Peter Moody, a self-made man from the Queensland outback, had paid just $210,000 for her in 2008 then transformed the hulking injury-prone filly into a champion.
“Today’s news is a shock to us all,” Victoria Racing Club Chair Neil Wilson said in a statement. “Black Caviar was more than a champion racehorse, she was an important part of life for many people.
