Red Route One Horse Trainer and Jockey

Red Route One is trained by Steve Asmussen, who's a two-time Eclipse Award winner. Asmussen's horses have performed well in the past, including Creator, who won the 2016 Belmont Stakes. He also trained Curlin and Rachel Alexandra, who won the Preakness Stakes in 2007 and 2009, respectively. That's also not to mention Asmussen's two Breeders' Cup wins (2007, 2014).

Red Route One's jockey for the 2023 Belmont Stakes is Joel Rosario. The 2021 Eclipse Award recipient has won the Belmont Stakes twice, taking home victories in 2014 (Tonalist) and 2019 (Sir Winston). He also won the 2013 Kentucky Derby while riding Orb.

Red Route One Race History

Red Route One has a career record of 10 starts, including two wins and two second-place finishes all-time. He last ran an event in May, finishing fourth at Pimlico in the Preakness Stakes.

Red Route One Belmont Stakes Prediction and Pick

Red Route One is shaping up to be a solid pick at the 2023 Belmont Stakes. The talented colt has three podium finishes in his past five outings and even won a race as recently as last April.

On top of that, Red Route One is backed by Asmussen and Rosario, who've both been victorious at Belmont Park. The duo knows how to produce winners, especially when the spotlight is at its brightest.

Few horses have a background as promising as that of Red Route One, making him a terrific pick to win the Belmont Stakes.
