A lacklustre performance by the mare and a "brain fade" by jockey Luke Nolen almost cost the pair victory, with Moonlight Cloud and Restiadargent nearly swallowing Black Caviar at the post. However narrow, the win is the crowning achievement of a record-breaking career that now stands at 22 starts without defeat, for 12 Group Ones and total prize money of $6.3 million. Even so, trainer Peter Moody says he will not hesitate to retire Black Caviar if things are not 100 per cent when she returns to Australia.

For the religiously minded, it might illustrate "original sin"; for the more broadly spiritual, "karma". In this reading, the PM's journey is a parable illustrating what happens when you do the wrong thing to begin with. But if you're looking for moral tales, you should not be looking to politics. This is not a world where good and evil fight it out and justice wins in the end.
