Born on Friday night at a property located in the Upper Hunter's equine industry cluster the foal and her eight year-old mother are both reported to be doing well.
Black Caviar won 15 group 1s, including the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2012.
She won three Lightning Stakes, a race that carries her name, two VRC Classics, two William Reid Stakes and two T.J. Smiths, which was her farewell to the racetrack last year.
Her brother All Too Hard, who stands at the Vinery stud, Scone also proved a top-class galloper and his first foals are hitting the ground this season.
A decision on a sire for Black Caviar this season is yet to be made.
Exceed and Excel stands at Darley's Kelvinside stud near Aberdeen.
