Peter Moody reported in this week’s Winning Post
“Unbeaten filly Black Caviar will enjoy a nice spring spell in peace and quiet at my farm in Victoria before being set for an autumn
campaign.She tore a chest muscle on her way to winning her most recent start. While not a major injury, it was quite devastating because I felt she could have won three Group 1s this spring – the Manikato, the Thousand Guineas and the Coolmore Stud Stakes.
Looking at things positively, there is nothing wrong with her structurally and springtime is the best for horses to relax and develop.
She’ll continue to receive ultrasound and muscle treatment but life will be very pleasant for her in the coming weeks”
The story brings back memories of another Bel Esprit filly, Gabbidon who was favourite for the Thousand Guineas two years ago after winning the Group 3 Thousand Guineas Prelude.
"Gabbidon, the impressive winner of last Saturday’s Group III Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m), is out of further spring racing after sustaining an injury.
The Bel Esprit filly, trained by Gary Kennewell at Morphetville, has suffered a hairline fracture in her wither in a stable mishap ruling her out of the progressing to the Group I Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield on October 17th.
Gabbidon won the Thousand Guineas Prelude by 1 3/4L taking her to the head of Thousand Guineas markets".
