Crudo Horse Trainer and Jockey

Crudo is one of two contenders which trainer Todd Pletcher is responsible for at the Belmont Stakes. Pletcher is a 2021 Hall of Fame inductee and eight-time Eclipse Outstanding Trainer award winner. He has won Belmont six times and placed 2nd nine times.

Jockey John R. Velazquez is a Hall of Famer with six Triple Crown wins -- two of which have come at Belmont. A regular among the yearly top 10 earners, Velazquez rode Sandman to a 3rd-place finish at Preakness last month.

Crudo Race History

Crudo only has three races to their name, but they've raced well of late with a pair of wins attached to 99 and 100 Speed Scores.

Crudo Belmont Prediction and Pick

With a pair of fast wins in their last two starts, Crudo makes for an interesting longshot at 15-1.

While it's a lot to expect Crudo to outright win here, but they have the right trainer/jockey combination to make some noise. Given recent performance, Crudo is certainly worth a second look heading into Saturday.
