THE Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival has been dealt a massive blow with the shock withdrawal of the world's best sprinter Black Caviar from next week's Doomben 10,000.

Trainer Peter Moody has decided Black Caviar needs an immediate spell, with her victory in last week's BTC Cup taking a bit more out of her than he had hoped.

Moody confirmed the withdrawal via Twitter, saying: ''Black Caviar will be going to the spelling paddock, all is well but we just feel that she has had enough for this prep''.

Black Caviar scored her 13th successive win in the BTC Cup at Doomben last Saturday.

Her absence is a blow to the Brisbane Racing Club. A crowd of more than 20,000 packed Doomben to witness the mighty mare's BTC Cup win and officials were hopeful of attracting even more to the 10,000 meeting on Saturday week.

BTC Cup runner-up Hay List will now be a warm favourite for the 10,000 in the absence of Black Caviar.
