Sharp Work for Harlem Rocker, Preakness Decision Looms

Harlem Rocker breezed five furlongs 1:00.10 this morning over the Belmont Park training track, a work that was the third fastest of 32 at that distance.

Trainer Todd Pletcher is set to make a decision on whether or not the undefeated Withers Stakes winner will go in the Preakness on Saturday. Harlem Rocker, who is owned by Stronach Stables, is also targeting the Queen's Plate on June 22nd at Woodbine.

Update: The decision has been made, no Preakness for Harlem Rocker.

Update: Does anyone know why the DRF is reporting different times for workouts? While they report the "official" time of 1:00.10 for Harlem Rocker on the workouts page, they report a time of 59.63 in a story on the website.

They did the same thing during Derby workouts and it was quite confusing considering that they are only using these "unofficial" times in stories, yet not in the past performances...
