MELBOURNE, Australia — Black Caviar, who was unbeaten in 25 career starts and won 15 Group 1 races and nearly 8 million Australian dollars (more than $5.3 million) in prize money, has died. Former trainer Peter Moody on Saturday confirmed the death of the 17-year-old mare, who was retired in 2013. Moody said: "She was a remarkable horse who gave us all the ride of a life time and wonderful memories." Victoria Racing Club chairman Neil Wilson said Black Caviar helped create "a special moment in time for horse racing and sport more generally."
