On Sunday, if I may add:

HARLEM ROCKER DRAWS POST 6 OF 8 FOR PLATE TRIAL

HARLEM ROCKER, owned by Stronach Stables and Adena Racing Venture II has arrived at WOODBINE and will be heavily favoured for Sunday's PLATE TRIAL.

The light grey son of Macho Uno, undefeated, untested, has his regular EIBAR COA as his partner for the 9 furlong race - race 7 on Sunday, post time 4:03 pm.

BTW nice field in the Nassau, Sealy Hill looks like the horse to beat but that's a strange turf course they have over there so don't count your hens just yet.

I can tell you Steve Sealy Hill is Training very Well But she has a mind of her own, She loves the Woodbine Turf and if she buts her best foot forward she should be very tough in this spot.


Round Pen

Watch the weather. Dreaming of Anna was going to run in this, but not entered due to it supposed to rain and they didn't want to run on wet turf.

I think Sealy Hill is probably on her second best surface, all of her best races have come on poly, though she will be right there Saturday she doesn't represent much value.

Arravale the one time Del Mar Oaks winner is not certainly the same horse she once was, I have to pass on her as well as she will be no worse than second or third choice.

I like the 2 Attfield horses, Callwood Dancer and Sans Souci Island, just not sure which one is more ready...Throw in Nottawasaga if she is 6-1 or better.

It's The Niagra Queen from this corner, with confidence

Really Mike.....The TGH #'s don't seem to be there. If you want long shot material take a look at #8 Sans Sauci (Chester House) who maybe sitting on a very big race here. The other that has my eye is the #5 Caliwood Dancer who ran nicely off a layoff here but ChesterHouse of a layoff has been too good to me to bail at these prices

I would go with Callwood Dancer, she's probably in better form than Sans Sauci Island and she is improving. I'm not sure if she is up to beating Sealy Hill or Arravale yet but she will atleast be bettable at a price.

That's where I am leaning towards...

SUNDAY 7th (4:03) Plate Trial S.

1 1/8 Miles (All Weather Track) | Open | 3 Year Olds Stakes | Purse: $150,000

1 1 East End Tap Pizarro T Baker Reade 126 Blk-On L 12-1
2 2 Not Bourbon Jones J Attfield Roger L 126 L 4-1

Harlem Rocker obviously looms large

On "paper" these others will need to hope the track plays a big role.

The tiring surface, the kickback...

Not Bourbon may have talent, but his racing placement shows no hint of longterm thinking toward these races.

Solitaire is at least a big animal who didn't totally flop in a turf race. If he doesn't eat a lot of kickback--> could benefit from a grueling stamina test.

usually i look to oppose, but would like to see the Rocker romp and be a division factor.

Super race and Callwood Dancer fans win the photo.. Sam-Son's Quiet Jungle ran a big one... Congrats to those that keyed off the winner at 9-1.

Thanks Steve, it was an exciting race.

Frankly I don't see much competition for Harlem Rocker tommorow, the only things I am interested in seeing Sunday are how will he handle going 2 turns for the 1st time and how will he handle the polytrack surface. If this horse is as good as some of us believe he is, me included. Tommorow's race will yield some valuable information going towards that opinion.

I wonder what they'll do with him if he doesn't handle the poly. . . Maybe just Jim Dandy/Travers. . .

Not Bourbon is the only horse possibly to give him trouble if he gets the jump on HR and Coa is caught sleeping, this horse is a sprinter first as Woodbine Polytrack seems to favor the tactically gifted speed horses, has a good turn of foot, however he is stretching to 1 1/8th and he has the smallish build, not sure if he will hit the wall at some point. Pewter has had 1 big race at GP after being abysmal in his first 2 starts of his career, he looks abit like an abberation if you ask me.

Harlem Rocker off the board.

ouch

Damn, guess his last race wasn't as easy as most thought. :rolleyes:
