Black Caviar has successfully gave birth to her third foal last Sunday, a filly by Snitzel. “We are making a habit of just arriving in time (for the births). We had about an hour to spare this time,” said managing owner Neil Werrett. “You just want to see a healthy foal and that’s what we got.”

Black Caviar’s first foal was an Exceed And Excel filly, which is now two but unraced, and last year she had a Sebring colt. To date, the owners have retained all the foals and a decision about who will cover Black Caviar this season has not been announced.
