Who was Black Caviar?
Black Caviar was an Australian racehorse who won all 25 of her races, an unbeaten record that made her one of the greatest sprinters in history. She retired in 2013.
Black Caviar was foaled in 2006 and trained by Peter Moody in Melbourne. She was a large, powerful mare known for her speed and acceleration.
Her winning streak included many Group 1 races, the highest level of horse racing. She drew huge crowds whenever she raced in Australia.
Royal Ascot
In 2012, Black Caviar traveled to England to race at Royal Ascot. She won the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, though only narrowly after jockey Luke Nolen eased her before the line.
The win kept her unbeaten record intact, and the race was watched by millions in Australia, many of whom stayed up through the night.
Black Caviar's salmon pink silks with black dots became famous, and fans wore them to races. She retired in April 2013 and became a broodmare. She was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame. She died in 2024.
