D'OH! No Queen's Plate for Rocker..
Harlem Rocker, decisive winner of the Withers Stakes (gr. III) but fourth in the Plate Trial in his first Polytrack start, will not contest the Queen's Plate on June 22 at Woodbine... http://racing.bloodhorse.com/article/45745.htm

He's really done enough.

Is this the same horse that would of beat BB in the preakness? Oh I wish I had to time to repost all the threads of me bashing this POS and everybody attacking me for it. I feel all tingly inside.

he's not the first horse to show lots of promise, only to bomb on a surface switch. pryo never took a step wrong til he went to keeneland. put the rocker back on dirt, then we'll see.
one good showing isn't enough to make them good, and certainly one bad one isn't enough to make them bad! |
I posted this earlier this morning, I guess it was missed. But I am happy to share it again...
A fast but "backwards" workout by Plate contender HARLEM ROCKER on the Polytrack today at Woodbine has left the Stronach Stables team in a quandary about whteher to start the grey colt in the June 22 Plate. According to manager Mike Rogers, Harlem Rocker's workout featured the grey son of Macho Uno going fast in the early part of the 5 furlong prep ('22 and change') and then slowing down at the end (58 1/5 for 5 furlongs, out in 1:12 and change) "It was kind of backwards, he went fast and then fell apart," said Rogers. "It doesn't make our decision any easier," Rogers said Stronach wanted to view the workout tape himself before deciding the colt's status for new week. |

The guy has a bunch of posts about how much he hates polytrack but when it suits him polytrack is completely dismissed as a possible excuse. Close your eyes for a second and think of the internet if people wanted as much attention for their bad opinions as they seem to for their good ones. |

This thread is really too much.
Nobody said Harlem Rocker was a superhorse, or was going to crush Big Brown, but merely pointed out that he was a good horse and might present a real challenge to Big Brown in the Preakness. Some of us like to see a challenge in racing. Others are delusional. That's OK....it takes all kinds. |
