As every horse around the world celebrates their birthday on August 1, the Bendigo Jockey Club is gearing up for another season of racing.
Club chief executive Rob Heinjus said it was a big day in the racing calendar.
"A lot of racing is based around the age of horses," he said.
"August 1 is the day every horse gets a year older and on that day we'll have a big day of training.

Balgownie Estate will provide plenty of bubbles throughout the season as part of a partnership with the club.

"The club has chosen from our top estate ranges so there will be nice glasses of bubbles for everyone."
