Let me ask you, had Harlem Rocker tried the turf and not the synthetic and run so-so, would you be looking at him the same way as you are now? Because essentially the poly is as foreign to dirt racing as turf is.

Yea I just went back to the threads about Rocker and the preakness, there were comparisons about Bernardini and Rocker, thats what got me riled up, but the person that was touting him as a Superhorse was Better Than Honour so take that for what its worth. But still there were some others saying he had a shot in the preakness but he got beat by nothing up in Canada. And yes I would think differently if he tried the turf and ran so-so because those would of been turf stake horses running on turf and these were dirt horses running on synthetics. He should of handled these horses if he was anything.
