A story stretching back for generations, it's the horse's breeder, Rick Jamieson, who has ultimately cultivated a world champion thoroughbred. "This is the dream of every breeder who ever conjured together the bloodlines and produced a foal." But Black Caviar's success isn't simply down to genetics: it has involved a lot of money, a lot of expertise and years of dedication."Black Caviar is one in a million". But how long can her winning streak continue?

That owner/ breeder is wonderful! Not taking credit himself, showing heart felt thanks to his staff.
-
Phar Lap was such an imposing horse - I'm reminded every time I see a picture or video of him. Monstrous.

There's so many horses abused in racing, but, there's also many that are taken great care of. I have an OTTB that his registration is stamped with no auction/ slaughter seal and they would Gladly take him back if something happened and he did terrible on the track. I also know someone who their OTTB had a major career ending injury and the breeder took her back to retire for life, keep in mind that she was only 7, and my friend goes and visits the mare every month. So not all racing is bad. The breeders/trainers I am talking about also won't race them until they are four.

I wonder how they named the sausages they made out of their Black Caviar after they listed it as "retired", as all these horse factories do. It's so very moving watching these psychos describing the horse with tears in their eyes... Awww... And then sell it for 200 AUD to a slaughterhouse ... 😪 So moving...

Even responsible owners and trainers are a part of the problem. The Thoroughbred industry regularly cranks out literally tens of thousands of new foals each year, only a tiny percentage of which go on to earn their keep, and there are no guarantees even for those who do. (Google "Ferdinand"--a Kentucky Derby winner) Guess what happens to the rest? It's too awful to say, but involves a cattle truck and a trip to Canada or Mexico. The only ethical answer is to stop breeding so many animals and spend more resources finding good homes for the ones that already exist. What can you do? Adopt if you're qualified. Donate to rescue organizations if you can. Otherwise refuse to participate as a spectator in this ingratiating, abusive 'sport' whose time has past.
-
Breeding without limits is irresponsible because these horses end up at auctions and go to slaughter houses. As soon as a horse or colt is deemed non profitable, they are likely auctioned off and end up on the plates of consumers. So tell the whole damn ugly story. All about greed.
-
Yes she won at Ascot, but you left out the real story of that day, the horse won, she deserved to win, she was the better horse on the day, but what you forget to say was that she nearly lost the race, and the reason it was so close in the end was because the jockey stopped riding the horse, he was un aware of the danger of the fast finishing horse, Black Caviar so very nearly lost her perfect record due to human error.
-
What happens when they finish their racing career? Some of them end up as Horse meat for us and dogs
-
The horse business, all phases, have a cruel side. To many owners mistreat their horsr/horse. Being a horse owner ( thoroughbreds) I've seen the ugly side. The soreing of saddlebreds/Tennessee walkers is barbaric. Laws must be stricter. I've seen ignorant owners abuse their horse. These noble animals who serve us MUST BE PROTECTED.
-
That last race she almost lost.But it was not her fault,if you notice the jockey misjudged the finish line and was starting to pull up.I know the trainers had to catch that.If you watch closely the jockey was not sure where the finish line was.You also can see he stops riding and quickly notice he had not cross the finish line yet,then starts again and almost lost that race.

If you could have bred Black Caviar to Secretariat boy what a horse you would have!
-
BlackCaviar was one of the greats.
