Black Caviar will visit sire Snitzel for her 2015 mating, having successfully given birth to her second foal in September.

The unbeaten mare has already produced a Sebring colt and an Exceed And Excel filly, with Black Caviar's connections keeping hold of the progeny.

Snitzel was a four-time winner at Group level, including victory in the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate as a three-year-old in 2006.

Black Caviar first became a mother in September 2014 to Exceed And Excel, before adding a Sebring colt to the family last month - both births happening at the Hunter Valley.

Gary Wilkie - a part-owner of the 15-time Group 1 winner - said all was progressing well with the now two-time mother, ahead of her date with Snitzel.

"Black Caviar's first two foals are a real credit to this champion race mare," Wilkie said.

"Black Caviar's first foal, a daughter of Exceed And Excel, is an outstanding filly.

"Now we have this exceptional 2015 Sebring colt born on the 23rd of September, she has given us a lot to look forward to with both foals to date.

"This cheeky new arrival has a huge amount of quality, and his mother's laidback approach to life.

"The undefeated, champion race mare has now produced two foals that have an unmistakable Black Caviar stamp on them, one can only hope they've inherited her speed as well. Only time will tell."
