Rocket hits back


18 Feb, 2010.
TOWNSVILLE Cup winner Ryan's A Rocket bounced back to his best when leading throughout to win a 520m Best 8 at Albion Park on Thursday night.
The son of Bombastic Shiraz-Berella Xena scored by two lengths in 30.38 for top trainer Ron Ball.
He downed Fence Post with three-quarters of a length to My Amigo a luckless third.
Ryan's A Rocket was having only his third run from a two month spell.
The dog had hurt a wrist last year when trialling at Wentworth Park and it had plagued him for months.
"Ronny finally had to give him a break and let it come right," said Ball's partner Serena Lawrence.
Ron was in Melbourne last night with Group 1 winner Mr Metz for the semi-finals of the Australian Cup at The Meadows on Saturday night.
Serena said the wrist was strapped constantly to give it support but Ryan's A Rocket was showing no signs of it worrying him during this campaign.
"He would pull up sore after every race he had during his last campaign," said Serena.
"He seems right now."
Ryan's A Rocket, also winner of a Young Guns at Albion Park last year, has won 17 of his 52 starts and 14 of those have come at headquarters.
