Rocket Man has bounced back with two wins since the Golden Shaheen spoils, while the other two have been sidelined with injuries, the worst of that going to South Africa’s JJ The Jet Plane.  Amazingly, despite having never faced open company, 2,000 Guineas winner Frankel was tied with sprinting superstar Black Caviar for the top spot.   The ratings were conclusive through 22 May.  Click HERE for more.

Black Caviar’s Friday victory came after recovering from a torn muscle suffered this spring.
