Black Caviar trainer Moody facing lengthy ban

Peter Moody, the Australian trainer best known for his expert handling of the great Black Caviar, could face a lengthy ban after one of his horses tested positive for the drug cobalt.

Racing Victoria stewards announced the Moody-trained Lidari produced a positive test when finishing second in the Group One Turnbull Stakes at Flemington.

Officials recently agreed to a limit of 200 micrograms per litre in urine as traces can be found due to ingestion of feedstuffs that contain it.
