Doesn't appear that Harlem Rocker made the worktab today...

Will try to find out what's up...

I was just about to post the same, no workout on the Belmont tab unless Todd snuck him out very, very early in the morning...I see Panty Raid is on the worktab so it's not like he is not working his horses this morning...What does this mean?

I hope that Harlem Rocker doesn't go. I would really like to see Big Brown go to NY with the triple crown on the line. I could see Harlem Rocker beating him and I don't want Casino Drive 1-5 when Big Brown doesn't show up.

It would be great to have the triple crown on the line for BB and a possible 3-peat for Better Than Honour. Horse racing is a weird sport though. Denis of Cork will probably come in and beat them both.

If that scenario happens, which it probably won't.. It would be great if Casino Drive was odds-on in the Belmont.. so I can bet against him!

Well I get the feeling Harlem Rocker will be heading into the Preakness if and when we get word of his work this morning. I read this morning that Stronach was in favour of the Preakness as opposed to The Plate Trial with the option of the Queens Plate later on, but was leaving the decision up to Pletcher, thus this morning's work was vital. The lack of information is quite a head scratcher? If he goes to the Preakness, he is obviously the only horse that can give Big Brown a race Saturday.

I think you are correct. They aren't going to miss their shot to take him down and even if he doesn't it is a nice prep. He is going to the Queens Plate no matter what and even if he did run second here I am sure they would be happy.

Looks like he worked pretty well so I'm hoping he goes. . .
