Peter Moody has confirmed his intention to quit the training ranks following his six month suspension from the sport. Moody was found guilty of unknowingly administering cobalt above the legal threshold to Lidari (Fr) (Acclamation {GB}) who was tested following the 2014 G1 Turnbull S. Moody announced his plans in a letter written to clients and owners in which he said, “It is with much regret and a heartfelt decision that I have to inform you that I am going to recant my suggestion on Friday of where I said I would be back training in six months.” Moody continued in the letter, “After a lot of deliberation with my family and senior management staff, we didn't feel it was going to be a viable or workable proposition to employ another trainer to caretake the stable for the 6 month period of my suspension. With this in mind I have made the ultimate decision that at this point in time I will not be returning to the training of racehorses in the foreseeable future.” Peter Moody achieved global acclaim as the trainer of Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}), the unbeaten winner of all of her 25 starts including 15 Group 1 races.
