Highest Number Of Record Race Wins - Black Caviar
Date of Record: 17/04/2013
With an unbroken record of 25 straight wins from 25 starts, the great mare Black Caviar has been retired from racing...
She won the TJ Smith at Randwick on Saturday, bringing up an Australian record 15th group 1 win.
Trainer Peter Moody and her owners thought long and hard about racing for another season, however, they agreed 25 was a great number to finish on.
He added Black Caviar\'s 2013 campaign, which also netted wins in the Lightning Stakes and William Reid Stakes, had been a bonus after her Royal Ascot win last year, that took a heavy toll on the mare.
Milestones in Black Caviar\'s 25-win career:
• Won her first race on April 18, 2009 at Flemington when ridden by Jarrad Noske
