In March 2016 Peter Moody, the man who took his 'good mare' Black
Caviar to an unprecedented 25 straight victories, walked away from
racing. Suspended for six months after he was found to have
presented a horse on race day with an illegal level of cobalt in
its system, the trainer made the drastic decision to close down his
Caulfield stables altogether. How had it come to this? In Moods,
respected journalist Helen Thomas traces Moody's extraordinary
career, and shines a spotlight on the cobalt scandal that engulfed
him. Through interviews with family, colleagues and friends, and
with Peter Moody himself, Thomas explores the horseman's life and
achievements- from his time with turf legend T.J. Smith to the day
he first noticed the bay filly who grew up to become Black Caviar,
and the inquiry that led him to quit the job he loves. Articulate
yet reticent, tough yet sensitive, Moody is an intriguing
character. For the first time, discover what drives the man who
will always be remembered as Black Caviar's trainer, and a true
Aussie legend.
