Moody will be officially recognised in August for his feats with the sprint champion who famously went unbeaten from 25 starts and amassed $7,953,936 in prizemoney.

But it’s not just about Black Caviar, with Moody also having great success with Typhoon Tracy, Dissident and Incentivise.

He will join other star trainers in the Hall of Fame such as contemporaries Gai Waterhouse and Chris Waller, and legends from yesteryear such as Bart Cummings, Tommy TJ Smith and Arthur ‘Scobie’ Breasley.

Needless to say, he will also join Black Caviar who had the rare honour of being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2013 while still an “active competitor”.

“It’s an absolute honour when you look at the trainers who have come before me and no doubt those who will follow,’‘ Moody said.

“To be inducted into the Hall of Fame, to be recognised in this way is probably the highlight of my career, to be quite honest.’‘

NSW superstar and seven-time Hong Kong Jockeys’ Champion, Zac Purton, will also be inducted into the Hall of Fame, as will former and highly respected broadcaster Johnny Tapp.

Purton is a Caulfield Cup and Doncaster Handicap winner, but it’s his work in Hong Kong that is truly remarkable.

He has won all four of Hong Kong’s major international races, and he has won the Hong Kong Derby twice.

Throughout his career he has guided across the line 2800 winners with 47 of those at Group 1 level.

He will join his father-in-law Jim Cassidy in the Jockey section of Hall of Fame, while Tapp — who has been in the racing game for more than six decades — enters the Hall of Fame in the Associate category.

“It means a lot to me to be recognised by my peers ... it is very humbling,’‘ Purton said.

“I’ve been away from Australia for so long but I have been flying the Aussie flag in Hong Kong.

“Most of the world’s leading jockeys and trainers aspire to be successful in Hong Kong so being able to prove myself on the world stage was important to me.

“It would have been easier to stay in Australia but I felt it was more of a challenge for me take on the world, so to speak.’‘

The Hall of Fame ceremony will be held in Queensland on August 31 as part of the Australian Racehorse of the Year awards.

Champion horses Hydrogen (from the 1950s) and Mahogany (1990s) will also be given Hall of Fame status.

Mahogany won the Victoria Derby, the AJC Derby and the Australian and Caulfield Guineas, while Hydrogen saluted in the Cox Plate in 1952 and 1953.

‘’The Australian Racing Hall Of Fame is a testament to those who achieved the pinnacle in the sport and the calibre of this year’s inductees is nothing short of remarkable,” Australia’s Hall Of Fame chair Jason Scott said.
