Red Route One, Disarm Both Possible For Steve Asmussen, Winchell Thoroughbreds | 2023 Preakness Stakes News

Red Route One, who earned a fees-paid berth in the 1 3/16-mile Preakness Stakes (G1) by virtue of winning Oaklawn Park’s Bath House Row Stakes, galloped Tuesday after a walk day following Sunday’s workout (five furlongs in 1:01.20) at Churchill Downs.

Red Route One was second in Oaklawn Park’s Southwest Stakes (G3) and Rebel Stakes (G2) before checking in sixth in the Arkansas Derby (G1).

He bounced back three weeks later to win the Bath House Row by a head under Joel Rosario.

Disarm, Red Route One’s stablemate and the Kentucky Derby (G1) fourth-place finisher, will go back to the track Wednesday, said Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, who trains both Gun Runner colts for owner Ron Winchell’s Winchell Thoroughbreds.

At least one of the pair is expected to contest the May 20 Preakness at Pimlico Race Course.
