World champion mare Black Caviar has tested positive to Widden Stud sire Sebring.

Sebring (More Than Ready) has his third batch of two year-olds commencing their careers this season after siring 10 stakes winners from his first two books.

Group 1 winners Criterion (Australian Derby & Rosehill Guineas) and Dissident (Randwick Guineas, Makybe Diva Stakes & Memsie Stakes) were the stars of his first crop while Group 2 winners Believe Yourself (Sweet Embrace Stakes) and Bring Me The Maid (Magic Night Stakes & Silver Shadow Stakes) headlined the second crop.

Black Caviar (Bel Esprit) retired unbeaten after 25 starts, including 15 Group 1 victories, and she foaled an Exceed and Excel filly first-up on September 12.
