Harlem Rocker

[blackthroatedwind]

He's about as likely to be double digit odds if he goes in the Preakness as I am to dunk on LeBron.

I'll get you a trampoline.

Agree though- I'm guessing 6-1 to 8-1 is about right.

The only way he will be that high is if someone explodes in the Derby...and even then.

Red Bullet got drowned by FuPeg in the Wood, FuPeg jogged in the Derby, and yet Red Bullet was still 6:1. It's probably not unfair to compare most of this year's Derby to FuPeg's competition.....but Harlem Rocker will be coming to the Preakness ( at least theoretically ) with a very hefty fig...and Todd Pletcher's hefty profile.

Honestly, unless Big Brown dominates the Derby, this horse could be 4:1. Close your eyes, and think about this........everyone will love him. I'm regretting starting this thread already.

Red Bullet was also trained by Orseno... a fine horseman but not exactly a high profile guy.

Nah, this thread was warranted- keep in mind the people on here are sharp and see all the angles relative to the Preakness public, which has a strong favoring towards horses that ran in the Derby (which was the point of my note on Scrappy T and Bernardini, both who came in with similar Withers results as Harlem Rocker, albeit against stronger Preakness fields).
