Could this be the retirement announcement for Black Caviar?

A media conference has been called for 3pm AEST today pertaining to the future of unbeaten champion Black Caviar.

Trainer Peter Moody and the owners of Black Caviar will be in attendance.

Will miss the excitement of her races but still plenty of excitement to look forward to as she starts her new career as a broodmare. She will always be one of my favorites.

We will miss her very much, all the exitement. But she will start a new life, a lazy one, getting fat and motherly ...laying in the sunshine all day, playing with her foal. And of course because she is BC, posing in front for the cameras very often and later with her kids. I wish her a long and happy life, she deserves it!





Arganaut I sent you a PM some time ago.

Now BC is retired, her little brother is one to follow seriously after his recent victory at Randwick.

Black Caviar's half-brother All Too Hard (by Casino Prince) brilliantly won the 2013 Gr 1 All-Aged Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

He will now possibly have one final run at Royal Ascot in June (Prince of Wales's) before going to stud - this will be decided later this week.

ABC have shown a tribute to Black Caviar called 'Fade to Black'.

It can be found here - http://www.abc.net.au/austory/specials/ ... efault.htm

Wait until you see Black Caviar's full-sister - a weanling - sprint across the paddock - the future is bright indeed!

My favourite time of year in Oz , watching the horses wind up each week heading to the huge carnival time at Caulfield, Moonee Valley and finally to Flemington. I would change places in a minute hahaha!

A good read Arga......I really must pay him a visit before it's too late as he is surprisingly shy and loves to hear what's going on around the world. Always interested in new developments in training and maybe his curiosity prevented him from sitting back on his laurels. Gosh I can remember when he had the Melbourne stables fitted out with a soft music P.A. system in the late 80's.......we all shook our heads as we had the radios going all day anyway. HaHaHa!
