i wish we could see him on dirt again. his loss of speed has coincided with his running on the fake stuff. as mentioned, it could be also that he's lost a step since his last injury or from older age. but i'd still like to see him on dirt... what are the odds of that. 100-1?

Thats just too bad for Surf Cat then, I really loved this horse. As for Harlem Rocker I hope we can just throw out the race, even if he should of beaten that field with three legs running on sand from the Middle East.

I believe it was Harlem Rocker's 4th start of his career and beat a 4 horse crap field in his last and that somehow put him in the same category as Big Brown. He has potential thats for sure. Pletcher is very good with 2-3 yr olds but I really do believe this horse will benifit from a Trainer Switch if this horse is to be productive at 4 yr old. Just my opinion.

Well think about it. He passed all derby preps, passed all TC races. What is he going for?? The Travers?? sorry that goes to Big Brown as well. Even if HR does win the Travers, the 3 YO HOY is bagged up by BB. Knowing Frank Stronach, he is looking for a monster 4 YO with this one. Just my opinion
