Black Caviar: The Undefeated Champion Who Trusted Hidez
Quick Summary
"How the greatest sprinter in a century relied on Hidez graduated compression for her historic 30-hour flight to Royal Ascot — and maintained her perfect 25-from-25 record."
The Royal Ascot Flight
In 2012, the world’s greatest sprinter, Black Caviar, faced her biggest challenge: a grueling 30-hour flight from Australia to the United Kingdom to compete at Royal Ascot. For an equine athlete of her caliber, the physical toll of such travel is immense—muscle fatigue, fluid retention, and stiffness are constant risks.
"Success is not just about the work on the track; it's about the care and recovery that happens off it."
To ensure she arrived in peak condition, her team turned to Hidez graduated compression technology. By wearing a custom Hidez suit during the flight, Black Caviar benefited from increased oxygenation and enhanced blood circulation, effectively "massaging" her muscles while she stood in her transport stall.
Maintaining Perfection
The result? Black Caviar stepped off the plane in London looking fresh, alert, and ready to compete. She went on to win the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, maintaining her legendary perfect record of 25-from-25 starts. This historic feat remains a testament to both her incredible natural talent and the elite recovery protocols that supported her.
Today, Hidez technology continues to be the gold standard for high-performance animals worldwide, trusted by trainers who refuse to compromise on their athletes' wellbeing during travel and recovery.
