Champion racehorse Black Caviar has died a day before her 18th birthday.
A statement on Saturday on behalf of Black Caviar's owners announced the death.
The Australian star captivated the nation and retired in 2013 with 25 wins from 25 starts, taking $7,953,936 in prize money.
"She was a remarkable horse who gave us all the ride of a lifetime and wonderful memories," trainer Peter Moody said in the statement.
Moody later revealed the cause of death was laminitis, a painful disease of the foot that eventually progresses to a point that a horse can no longer walk.
Born at Gilgai Farm in Nagambie on 18 August, 2006, Black Caviar captivated the public’s imagination in 2009, arriving on the scene as a two-year-old, starting twice and winning both, by five and six lengths respectively.
She continued to dominate from those first starts, taking racing fans and her connections on an amazing journey until her retirement in April 2013. By then she was undefeated in 25 starts, including 15 at Group 1 level.
A sensational horse who ignited a spark in Australian racing some say had not been seen for decades, Black Caviar became a cultural phenomenon. People clamoured to watch her race and witness her incredible performances. Her fluent sprint and impossibly long stride powered by her famous rear end was a joy to watch and she drew crowds that hadn’t been seen at tracks for years.
...
Shortly after Black Caviar won so bravely at Royal Ascot an invitation arrived for her owners to attend Windsor Castle for dinner. It was a long way to travel for dinner, but we all went! It was a beautiful evening where we enjoyed pre-dinner drinks surrounded by huge floral arrangements, and were entertained by talented musicians as we chatted with everyone including members of the Royal family, before being seated in the adjoining magnificent dining room.
