Ya you've clearly been proven right. . .

he's not the first horse to show lots of promise, only to bomb on a surface switch. pryo never took a step wrong til he went to keeneland. put the rocker back on dirt, then we'll see.
one good showing isn't enough to make them good, and certainly one bad one isn't enough to make them bad!

I posted this earlier this morning, I guess it was missed. But I am happy to share it again...

A fast but "backwards" workout by Plate contender HARLEM ROCKER on the Polytrack today at Woodbine has left the Stronach Stables team in a quandary about whteher to start the grey colt in the June 22 Plate.

According to manager Mike Rogers, Harlem Rocker's workout featured the grey son of Macho Uno going fast in the early part of the 5 furlong prep ('22 and change') and then slowing down at the end (58 1/5 for 5 furlongs, out in 1:12 and change)

"It was kind of backwards, he went fast and then fell apart," said Rogers.
"It doesn't make our decision any easier,"

Rogers said Stronach wanted to view the workout tape himself before deciding the colt's status for new week.
