Preakness Preview (May 12th): Harlem Rocker out; Gayego possible
Frank Stronach’s Harlem Rocker will not contest the second jewel of the Triple Crown. Todd Pletcher and company have decided to point the undefeated colt to the Queen’s Plate at Woodbine on June 22nd. Pletcher will be represented in the Preakness by Lexington Stakes winner Behindatthebar.
Kentucky Derby hero Big Brown might get a bit of competition from Arkansas Derby winner Gayego. The son of Gilded Time was a gem of consistency before a troubled start in the Derby hurt his chances. He hardly owns a classic pedigree, and if the early/pressing type is going to make any Triple Crown noise, the 9.5 furlong Preakness would be the spot.
The remaining horses under consideration for the Preakness are Giant Moon, Hey Byrn, Icabad Crane, Kentucky Bear, Macho Again, Racecar Rhapsody, Riley Tucker, Stevil, Tres Borrachos, and Yankee Bravo.
