This thread is really too much.

Nobody said Harlem Rocker was a superhorse, or was going to crush Big Brown, but merely pointed out that he was a good horse and might present a real challenge to Big Brown in the Preakness.

Some of us like to see a challenge in racing. Others are delusional. That's OK....it takes all kinds.

The only thing I thought was confusing, was when everyone , including the hype about how NYRA was so glad HR wasn't running in the Preakness to assure a TC.

The only thing this thread is lacking is an appearance by DT's most famous Canadian member to defend his country's honor against this clown.


Where or where is WarranT when his country needs him?

no, it was to assure a TC attempt. and that happened.
seriously tho, i don't know why anyone would find it shocking that frank stronach wanted to run in, and try to win the Queen's Plate.

all in all, a jewel of a thread.

Your right the Queens Plate does soooo much more for a horse and its stock then winning that crappy Preakness race.

I worked out pretty good for Stronach with Awesome Again, in turn the sire of his Ghostzapper and Ginger Punch, two more irrelevancies.
