Does he have no lead in his pencil cause he's not a gelding? I just don't get why he's running, especially in Ohio-bred races. I also don't get why Harlem Rocker is running here when his favorite track in the world is open in Ozone Park, NY.

I think it would be difficult to get a race to fill in NY under the conditions this horse would qualify for. A prep for the Cigar Mile was mentioned. Harlem Rocker has not raced since last years Cigar Mile and it would be asking a lot of this horse to come back so quick are being out this long. Hopefully he can get back in form and be a quality race horse as a 5 year old.
