FORT ERIE , July 13...Harlem Rocker was back on the dirt and scored an impressive win in the 73rd Prince of Wales Stakes Sunday at Fort Erie.

The grey son of Macho Uno, whose only career defeat came on the Polytrack at Woodbine, came from off the pace scoring a length victory. “I had a perfect trip, I was tracking him (Not Bourbon) the whole way, said winning rider Eibar Coa. “He proved today that he’s back and good for the summer.”

Harlem Rocker, now 4 for 5, earned $300,000 for the win boosting his career earnings to over $448,000. He will likely be pointed to Saratoga for his next start.

Harlem Rocker covered the distance in 1:56 2/5.

East End Tap ran a big race, finishing second. Pronger, with Fort Erie’s leading rider Chad Beckon in the saddle, finished third.
