That's Dutrow talking about Harlem Rocker (15) in this DRF article. There is still a fair question to ask about the Rocka: 2 turns. It's a pretty big question. His sire's, Macho Uno, career was cut short after winning sprinting races at 2. His grandsire, Holy Bull, seemed to do his best up to a mile and has sired mostly sprinters, it seems. His dam won sprints, and his damsire also won sprints. Do you see where I'm going here? I'm nervous. But I don't want to see a Triple Crown this year, and I'll do my best to root him home. Any positive comments about the rocka please feel free to leave, give me some optimism. What were his sheet numbers, any chance he can run a 5? That's what Dutrow thinks Big Brown will run. |

I Wouldn't Say He's Shaking in his Boots

Don't worry, Casino Drive and Tomcito will clean things up in the Belmont. I like Giant Moon in the Preakness too, but I admit he's more likely to simply hit the board.
Here is some optimism. Harlem Rocker is undefeated. He is rested and he has a 103 beyer. He won't be get crowded in and the race is only 1/16th longer than a mile. I think he has a shot.
I thought his last two races received rag sheet scores of 4.5 each. His chances in the Preakness depends on the distance, but when Rocker first started out, Pletcher said he should be a route horse, not a sprinter. And look how good he is sprinting? Could surprise us all. I think he'll finish at least second. So optimistic. They all gotta go out and prove it, don't they, including Big Brown.
