2013 William Reid Stakes

The 2013 William Reid Stakes, held under the Friday lights at Moonee Valley, will be the final Melbourne start of Black Caviar’s Hall of Fame career.  

A career that has seen her undefeated in twenty-three starts, including a dominant display in the Lightning Stakes during which she showed no effects from her seven month spell.

The owner of Thirteen Group One wins, Black Caviar can tie the legendary Kingston Town as the all-time Aussie record holder, as well as joining Flying Halo (1953, 1955) as the second horse to claim the William Reid in non-consecutive years.

Among the talented gallopers lining up against the Peter Moody trained champ, with the full William Reid Stakes field found in the Odds comparison table below include:

- Stable-mate Karuta Queen who finished third in the Bob Hoysted (1000m) last time out, Kingston Town Classic winner Luckygray and Oakleigh Plate place-getter Spirit of Boom.
