Frank’s Rockette Powers Home in Prioress

[Wandering Eyes]

FRANK’S ROCKETTE (f, 3, Into Mischief–Rocket Twentyone, by Indian Charlie) made it back-to-back wins in graded stakes for ‘TDN Rising Stars‘ on closing weekend at Saratoga, coming away to a strong victory over Reagan’s Edge (Competitive Edge) in the GII Prioress S. Center Aisle (Into Mischief) rounded out the triple, duplicating the result of the GIII Victory Ride S. downstate in which Frank’s Rockette bested Reagan’s Edge by a head, with Center Aisle 3/4 of a length further back in third. Frank’s Rockette broke on top, but settled off the pace of Hello Beautiful as Reagan’s Edge was well-placed in third. The 3-2 favorite took over under a hold before reaching the quarter pole, kicked clear and reported home 2 1/4 lengths to the good.
