Retired racehorse Better Loosen Up will celebrate a second milestone this year.
The gelding turned 30 in August and later this month will celebrate the 25th anniversary of his Cox Plate win.
The beautiful liver chestnut is known as one of the country’s most prolific thoroughbreds and is the only Australian horse to win the Japan Cup (1990).
That triumph was just prior to his Cox Plate win and was followed the next year with victory at the Australia Cup.
The horse now lives with other racing retirees at Greenvale’s Living Legends.
His career will be celebrated at Hume’s Legendary Food and Wine Festival on Sunday.
Free shuttle buses will ferry festival-goers from Sunbury train station and the Broadmeadows bus interchange to Living Legends, and back.
Tickets cost $25 at the gate or can be bought online for $22. Children are welcome free of charge.
