Loosepender (NZ) added the first stakes win to his record when he landed the G2 Waikato Guineas on Friday and in doing so became Turn Me Loose’s (NZ) sixth stakes winner.

Further back this is the same family as Listed winner Top Dance (NZ) (Brilliant Invader) and she in turn produced stakes winner Dancing Sculptor (Rancho Ruler).
Turn Me Loose’s progeny is headed by Group 1 winner She’s Licketysplit (NZ).
