Melbourne Cup winner Jeune dies
Former Melbourne Cup winner Jeune has died of heart failure at the Collingrove stud in Victoria.
The horse won the Cup and the Horse of the Year award in 1994.
Racing Victoria's Bernard Saundry described Jeune as a legend who was known for his versatility as a racehorse and as a sire.
Jeune's progeny have won more than $14.2 million in 212 races, including 30 stakes races. They include Caulfield Cup winner Mummify and last year's Melbourne Cup runner-up On A Jeune.
