( CNN ) -- After an unbeaten career and a Vogue cover , Australia 's most celebrated horse now has a bronze statue in her honor . The statue of Black Caviar , which retired with a perfect 25-0 career record , was unveiled in the animal 's birthplace of Nagambie in the state of Victoria as it emerged the horse is set to deliver a living legacy of its own -- the super mare is in foal . A crowd bedecked in Black Caviar 's signature salmon pink and black polka dot silks turned out to catch a glimpse of the life-size tribute , which is the work of sculptor Mitch Mitchell . And excitement among her throngs of fans grew as word spread that Australia 's foremost equine superstar -- after two visits to stallion Exceed and Excel -- is expecting . `` We are all proud Australians we are all proud Victorian this is a great day for Australia , '' breeder Rick Jamieson told The Telegraph . `` As Nagambians we can say we bred the best horse in racing history . '' The six-year-old sprinter , worth almost $ 8 million in prize money , bowed out after claiming her quarter century victory at Sydney 's TJ Smith Stakes in April . Duing a record-breaking career , the `` Wonder from Down Under '' transcended the sports pages to become one of the country 's most beloved sporting celebrities . The super mare was n't just a powerhouse on the track -- she was a treasured personality who appeared on the cover of Vogue , launched a best-selling biography and was named Sportswoman of the Year by Sydney 's Daily Telegraph . The retirement of the world 's top-rated racehorse led news bulletins in Australia , with former Australian p. Prime Minister Gillard tweeting : `` We 've never seen anything like Black Caviar before and may never again . She has an incredible legacy . '' Since demolishing the field in her first major win at the Danehill Stakes in 2009 , interest in Black Caviar has grown expotentially . The wonder mare , who even has her own Twitter handle , has not just won all 25 of her races -- with the exception of Britain 's Royal Ascot she has won them by staggering margins -- destroying world-class fields to become one of the world 's top-rated race horses . Her unblemished record is the second highest of all time , trailing behind only Hungarian horse Kincsem , which apparently took 54 races in the late 1800s .
A bronze sculpture of Black Caviar has been unveiled in its hometown . The Australian racehorse won all 25 of its races . It was also announced on Thursday that the super mare is in foal . The sire is stallion Exceed and Excel .
