Includes Better Loosen Up, Kingston Rule and Vo Rogue

Two champs. Both exciting race horses in their own right.

Better Loosen Up is above great.

As a rising 7 y/o no mean feat for the 'Rogue to just get claimed by a world champion racehorse. He also came 2nd in the '91 Australian Cup to B.L.U as well.

Vo Rogue was better than better loosen up

Reckon Vo's very long career, over 80 starts, 26 wins and 23 placings makes his durability and will to win (and compete) well worthy of a champion status. Only some of the very best beat him, Empire Rose and Almaraad in successive McKinnon Stakes, and B.L.U in those two meetings in 1991, when Vo was already 7 y/o, and B.L.U was at his very peak. Contrast to modern day racehorses, Vo was an absolute iron horse and I loved watching him always lead from the front and defy the rest to catch him. Obviously over 50 times they did, but he was racing at the very top level of competition.
