Highest Timeform Rating (win): 115 Rogan Josh (30 September 1992 − 24 June 2022) was an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse, who won the 1999 Melbourne Cup when ridden by John Marshall for the trainer Bart Cummings.
Rogan Josh was purchased for $13,000 by owner Wendy Green, after he didn't reach his reserve price at the yearling sales[2] and began his racing career in Western Australia.
As a five-year-old, and now trained by Colin Webster, Rogan Josh worked through his classes in Perth recording another four wins before heading to the 1998 Pinjarra Cup.
He then showed some form on Caulfield Guineas Day when ridden by Darren Gauci he won the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes by two lengths.
Once Rogan Josh was assured of a start in the Melbourne Cup, Bart Cummings entered him to run in the Group 1 Mackinnon Stakes on Victoria Derby as his final lead-up race.
Rogan Josh only had one more start in Australia: a 3rd in the Sandown Classic 11 days after the Melbourne Cup before finishing a brave fourth in the Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin Racecourse (Group 1 2400m WFA) in December 1999, and it was in this race that he produced a career high Timeform rating of 119 for his effort.
