Ratings honour for 'the Rock'

Rock Of Gibraltar has been rated the top three-year-old in the International Classifications, which were unveiled at a press conference in London today.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained colt, owned by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, racked up an amazing sequence of seven consecutive Group One wins before finishing an unlucky runner-up to Domedriver in the Breeders’ Cup Mile on his last run before being retired.
