BLACK CAVIAR

TRAINER Peter Moody (pictured) and jockey Luke Nolen had every reason to shed a tear in April when the great Black Caviar was retired after winning the TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick — her 25th win from as many starts in a glorious career. That win was her 15th at Group 1 level and there’s no doubt she is the best sprinter Australian racing has ever seen. The Australian racing landscape has been spoilt in recent years when you consider the success of Makybe Diva. Black Caviar, a seven-year-old these days, is now in foal to champion Aussie sire Exceed And Excel.
