A lattice calculation of the form factors that determine the hadronization ratios,'' such as [ital R][sub [ital K]][sup *] and [ital R][sub [phi]], where [ital R][sub [ital K]][sup *][equivalent to][[Gamma]([ital B][r arrow][ital K][sup *][gamma])/[Gamma]([ital b][r arrow][ital s][gamma])], is presented in the quenched approximation. Lattice data shows strong evidence for the scaling law suggested by heavy quark symmetry for one of the form factors (i.e., [ital T][sub 2]). The data also gives strong support for the simple pole ansatz for the [ital q][sup 2] dependence of [ital T][sub 2] in the range of available [ital q][sup 2]. We thus find [ital T][sub 2](0)=0.10[plus minus]0.01[plus minus]0.03, yielding [ital R][sub [ital K]][sup *]=(6.0[plus minus]1.2[plus minus]3.4)%; we also find [ital R][sub [phi]]=(6.6[plus minus]1.3[plus minus]3.7)%.
