The 5YO gelding Rocket Man, who won the Gr1 Lion City Cup (1200m) at Kranji for the 3rd successive year, has attracted a Timeform rating of 130 to make him the 2nd highest-rated sprinter in the world, behind only unbeaten Australian mare Black Caviar (currently on 135). Rocket Man, a Aus$60,000 yearling owned by South African Fred Crabbia and trained by Pat Shaw, boasts 15 wins and 4 runners-up from 19 starts
