Trainer Todd Pletcher said he will decide whether to run Harlem Rocker in the Preakness Stakes (G1) after the Macho Uno colt breezes over the May 10 weekend. The Ontario-bred, who is unbeaten in three starts and most recently won the Withers Stakes (G3) on April 26 at Aqueduct, is owned by Magna Entertainment Corp. chairman Frank Stronach, who owns Pimlico Race Course. Stronach Stables won the 2000 Preakness with Red Bullet.
"I am very pleased with what he has done up to this point," said Pletcher. "We’ll just have to see if we feel like he is ready to take as big a step as it would be to go from the Withers to the Preakness."
