At the time of writing, Red Route One's jockey is unknown. He's raced with Joel Rosario in the past, who's a 2021 Eclipse Award winner. Although Rosario has never won the Preakness Stakes, he's finished as the runner-up thrice, taking place in 2014, 2015, and 2019.

Red Route One Preakness Prediction and Pick

Although Red Route One doesn't have the best odds, he's a pick worth considering. He's finished second or better in nearly half of his career races, proving that he's a threat whenever he steps onto a track. If Rosario winds up being his jockey again, Red Route One will be in an even better position to be victorious.

It might be a long shot, but Red Route One is in a good spot to create some waves.
