Harlem Rocker

Top Performances: 1st in the Prince of Whales[G1], 1st in the Withers[G3]

Notable Misfires: 4th in the Travers[G1], 4th in the Queen's Plate Trial[G3, I believe]

Harlem Rocker did not impress me much in the Withers. J be K is a sprinter and under no circumstances should run longer than 7 furlongs, and the Withers was a mile. He stopped at the eighth pole leaving Harlem Rocker to come in and take the race easily. His win in the Prince of Whales is far more impressive. The Prince of Whales is a Canadian Triple Crown race, and had a decently talented field. However, the Travers is a complete disappointment. He had every chance to win it a the top of the stretch but didn't have enough speed to win. I'm not sure what to expect next from Harlem Rocker, as he ran poorly over his one race on polytrack (the Queen's Plate Trial), and the Breeder's Cup will be run over it this year.
