And here's Vain, who was regarded as one of Australia's best sprinters



I meant to add that Vain is on both sides of Black Caviar's pedigree.

He raced 14 times for 12 firsts, 2 seconds, and among his major wins was VRC Sires Produce Stakes (1969) and then he came to Sydney and won the enormously presdigious Golden Slipper Stakes.

He was retired to stud at the end of his 3 year old season after he was injured in a track gallop, and stood at Widden Stud in the Hunter Valley (north of Sydney, NSW) 

where he sired 370 winners, who between them won 1800 races.  Vain sired two Golden Slipper winners and was a leading sire in Australia.

He was Australian Champion Racehorse in 1969-70 and died in 1991.
