It was business as usual for trainer Peter Moody at Caulfield on Thursday morning as he embarked on the post-Black Caviar era.

After announcing on Wednesday that the horse of a lifetime had run her final race, undefeated in 25 starts, Melbourne's premier trainer was back at Caulfield on Thursday morning overseeing the training of the large team he has in work.

"There's a lot of other horses here that require a lot of help and require a lot of attention," he said.

But the popularity of Black Caviar, a horse Moody said had "transcended the sport", was still evident as the trainer's phone continued to ring hot following Wednesday afternoon's announcement.

"There's been unbelievable interest," Moody said.

"It's been ringing off the hook. I couldn't tell you how many messages there were on the phone last night.

"My phone actually cooked and froze yesterday afternoon. Driving home from work about 4.30 yesterday afternoon it just froze, so obviously it was just overloaded."

Moody said the decision to call an end to Black Caviar's career after her Australian record 15th Group One success in last Saturday's TJ Smith Stakes had been well received.

"People have appreciated the decision the owners have made and they've been very appreciative for her career," he said.

"Listen, we would have all loved it to last longer but like any good sport story, it's got to come to an end.

"And I think it was a fitting way to go out."

Later this year Black Caviar will embark on the new phase of her career as a broodmare, but she will make a final appearance at Caulfield on Saturday where she will be paraded for the crowd at her home track.

"Everyone is invited and they can have one final look at her on a racecourse," Moody said.

"She's not an old gelding like Takeover Target or Might And Power who can be taken around the country for the rest of her life. She's going to be off embarking on a new career now, so this is their opportunity to say goodbye."
