BLACK Caviar may race for at least another year, and trainer Peter Moody predicts the six-year-old's unbeaten string of wins could stretch to 30.
Moody said Black Caviar was in the best shape of her career and probably only now had reached full physical maturity.

"Why can't she push up to 26 or 27 wins if she's still got a smile on her face?" Moody said.

After her brave but narrow win in front of the Queen at Royal Ascot last June - her 22nd win in a row - Moody considered retirement.

A first-up comeback crack at next month's Black Caviar Lightning at Flemington was regarded as a cautious cameo, at best, but yesterday Moody released the shackles.

He said Black Caviar was "niggle" free for the first time in almost three years.

"The vet's happy, the chiropractor's happy, the jockey's happy, the trainer's happy," he said. "Hopefully this all leads to a lot more success."

PETER Moody still has an army of unraced youngsters to throw at Miracles Of Life but suspects he may be wasting his time trying to advance on the Adelaide star...End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.

Moody has ruled out nothing, but he has equally ruled in only one race - the Lightning on February 16, which Black Caviar has won for the past two years.

Black Caviar won a jumpout at Sandown last week and will gallop at Caulfield on Saturday, an appearance Melbourne Racing Club predicts may attract more than 10,000.
