Mint Lane dusted Admirality by about 5 lengths after setting a respectable pace. Unbridled's Heart third, less than a length (I think) behind Admirality.

Unbridled's Heart = Harlem Rocker

I don't think that is fair to Harlem Rocker. HR might just not be a polytrack horse. Unbrideled's Heart was very green but no real excuses.

The winner might be a really nice horse, which makes me think Casino Drive might be a freaky horse. The sad thing is he might not race on dirt again this year, so we will have no idea how good he is.

Harlem Rocker worked 58 1/5 'breezing' this morning on polytrack, we will see if they were happy enough with that work to enter him next week.

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.

Jock also layed off (near the finish)on Mint Lane.
And the horse responded by slowing near the finish.
Time would have been better by a little.

Jerkins certainly is not treating the horse in
a dainty manner. They race this horse.

But I read on here that I was supposed to be excited about Unbridled Heart the same way I was supposed to be excited about Harlem Rocker. What's going on here?

We are just trying to keep up with your claim that Indian Blessing was one of the five best 3YOs in the country. It wasn't easy so we had to dig deep.

It's befuddling. FAST horses like HR and UH are LOSING. SLOW horses like PYRO are WINNING. Can't be the case that the 'definitions' are screwed up, so it must be the (logical) method.

Time to pursue a paraconsistent approach.

Certainly getting left didn't help, and the way Castellano put him in behind horses, instead of staying in the clear, must have been by instructions, but Unbridled's Heart sure had nothing.

The final time was so fast that I find it hard to believe that the track hasn't changed. Either that or Mint Lane just emerged as the best 3YO in the country. It will be interesting to see the other dirt race times.....oh yeah there's only one....a very weak field of maiden claimers going 6F. Tough race to make a figure for.

I was thinking before the race that any time under 1:44 would be pretty remarkable.

There's only one more dirt race and that is a crappy NYB maiden claimer. I missed the first quarter of the race and was wondering why Castellano had Unbridled's Heart on the inside on Admirality and behind Mint Lane.

Certainly looked as though the horse didn't enjoy the dirt in his face..

I'm not a horse but I know I hate it when I get dirt kicked in my face. It was a learning experience. This horse should be better next time out. Plus Mint Lane is a good horse and there is no shame finishing 2nd to him at this point in UH's career.

He was also third. On the face of it this was a very disappointing effort. Yes, he was spotting a lot of experience, but he was supposed to be the real deal. Judging from today that doesn't appear to be the case.
