On the eve of the race that stops a nation, Australian Story looks back at the career of one of this country’s most loved horses, Black Caviar, and introduces her first offspring, Oscietra, a promising two-year-old filly now in pre-training with top trainer David Hayes.
Australian Story had unparalleled access to Black Caviar, its owners and trainer, for much of the legendary mare’s career, and was the only media team allowed behind the scenes when she was retired in April 2013.
Black Caviar won her first race in 2009, beginning a record-breaking run of 25 wins from 25 starts. She also holds the record for the most Group 1 wins.
Considered Australia’s greatest sprinter, Black Caviar captured the public’s imagination like no other horse since Phar Lap.
The question now is, will her legacy continue through her up-and-coming offspring?
