Farewell to a Legend: Black Caviar Passes Away

The world of horse racing mourns the loss of Black Caviar, the legendary racehorse who passed away just a day before her 18th birthday.

Black Caviar captivated Australia with her unbeaten record, winning all 25 of her races and earning nearly $8 million in prize money. Her passing marks the end of an era for the sport.

Black Caviar’s death was caused by laminitis, a painful and incurable disease of the foot. Trainer Peter Moody revealed that a milk infection led to complications, ultimately causing severe damage to her feet.

Despite efforts to treat her, the lack of blood flow made it impossible for her to recover. She gave birth to a colt by Snitzel before being humanely put down.

The impact of Black Caviar on Australian racing cannot be overstated. She was more than just a racehorse; she was a national icon and a symbol of excellence.

Her remarkable career and the joy she brought to fans will never be forgotten. Tributes poured in from across the racing community, with many remembering her as a once-in-a-lifetime champion.
