Black Caviar was foaled on 18 August 2006, and is a mare who is an undefeated Australian Thoroughbred racehorse, considered to be the best sprinter in the world. She has been named the WTRR World Champion Sprinter in 2010. On 31 March 2011 Black Caviar was rated one of the top Thoroughbred racehorses in the world (with a 135 rating) for the first quarter of 2011 by Timeform. She is trained by leading Melbourne-based trainer Peter Moody. Black Caviar started her five year old season by winning her second Schillaci Stakes by 4 1/4 lengths. By winning this race, Black Caviar equalled Phar Lap's record of 14 straight wins. She won her 15th race in the Moir Stakes, with a 6 length margin. She maintained her unbeaten record with win number 16 in the Patinack Farm Classic by 2.8 lengths. The champion mare returned to racing by winning the 1200 metre Group 2 Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley on 27 January 2012 by 4.3 lengths in a time of 1.09.44 to remain undefeated over 17 starts. She then stepped up to 1400 metres for the first time on February 11 in the C.F. Orr Stakes at Caulfield, where she again won comfortably by 3.3 lengths.  

This YouTube video shows her most recent  win being her 18th win in the Orr Stakes.

Black Caviar's next race is yet to be determined, with the Lightning Stakes on February 18 and/or the Futurity Stakes on February 25 both possible. The Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot is a main target for the horse. Until next time, see you in the Winner circle!
