Persian Caviar, a daughter of legendary mare Black Caviar, will debut on Monday at Wangaratta for trainers Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman.

Persian Caviar – the seventh foal out of late Black Caviar, who died in August from laminitis – was set to debut at Sale on Sunday but a wide barrier forced her withdrawal.

The unraced three-year-old Written Tycoon filly is an $8 chance with Ladbrokes in the 1100m Maiden Plate.

None of Black Caviar’s five foals to race won on debut but three placed including Oscietra (third), Ready For Caviar (second) and Invincible Caviar (third).

Prince Of Caviar placed fourth on debut while ran I Am Caviar finished fifth at his first start.

Invincible Caviar was the best performed with four wins from eight starts but died suddenly last year from a suspected heart attack.

Coleman tempered expectations on Persian Caviar, who has placed second in two recent Pakenham jumpouts.

“She’s educated up well, she’s done everything right and she’s ready to go to the races,” Coleman said.

“She’s not as big as Invincible Caviar, she’s probably in-between I Am Caviar and Invincible Caviar.

“She’s not a spitting image of her mother like Invincible (Caviar) was but she does have similar personality traits.”

• Victoria’s jumpout stalemate: ‘I’m not sure it’s up to trainers to tell jockeys they can’t get paid’

An unnamed yearling colt by The Autumn Sun is the last living Black Caviar foal.

Black Caviar delivered a Snitzel colt this year but unfortunately the orphan foal died days after the legendary mare.

Meanwhile, the Moody-Coleman yard has She Dances (Listed Christmas Stakes) and Riot And Rose (Listed Lord Stakes) nominated for Boxing Day at Caulfield but the Listed Black Pearl and Coastal Classic at Geelong on January 4 could be alternative options.

Riot And Rose has won the Wodonga and Werribee cups the past two starts.

The light-raced seven-year-old, a stable favourite, has won seven of 15 starts.

“We’re thrilled with him, he’s a really special horse to everyone at the stables,” Coleman said.

“A bit of a favourite, he’s been around for years and had a lot of little setbacks, so very rewarding to have him back in form and winning races for a great group of connections.”

Multiple stakes winner She Dances disappointed first-up for 12 months at Ballarat a fortnight ago.

“She was a bit ring rusty, she had a long time away from the races,” Coleman said.

“She probably did too much work early and seems like she’s really come on from that, fitness wise.

“She’s still going to want another run until she’s there and fully fit.”
