Harlem Rocker, sent off at 7-2, entered his debut off a bullet five-furlong move in 1:00 at Palm Beach Downs Feb. 8. Left at the gate, the gray colt tarried near the back of the pack, made a four-wide move turning for home and reeled in the pacesetters in the final furlong to win going away by 1 3/4 lengths over Sin Novedad (Cherokee Run). A Diehl (Aldebaran) was sixth and Excess Capital (Distorted Humor) seventh. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,000.
