Superstar racehorse Black Caviar has been retired, only days after winning her 25 straight race on Saturday, the TJ Smith in Sydney. It was also an Australian record 15th Group 1 win, cementing herself as one of the all time greats.

"The owners had a long chat the last couple of days and we thought 25 was a great number," trainer Peter Moody said.

"We got three more runs that we never thought we could get after Ascot last year."

Those three runs were the Lightning Stakes, the William Reid Stakes and the TJ Smith. After pulling up badly from her England run, it was likely Black Caviar was to be retired then. But luckily enough, the super mare managed to finish her career on home soil, giving Aussie fans a string of final performances.
