The champion middle distance horse was trained by Gai Waterhorse and earned in excess of $2 million.  Juggler Might and Power was noble and serene as he strolled down to say hello to his fans.  Might and Power Better Loosen Up created Australian racing history when he won the Japan Cup in 1991. All of the horses were escorted by members of the local Bulla Pony Club and this young lady had to struggle with the huge trophy that remembers this champion's most notable and history making win.  Above and below - Better Loosen Up  The final retiree to come out and meet the people was the 'horse of the moment' Fields of Omagh who has won over $6 million dollars during his lengthy and star studded career.
