He will be racing at 1m4f for the first time, but this is something that most 3 year-olds can do.
Joel Rosario is his jockey again, and he has two Belmont Stakes winners (2014 & 2019, respectively) so he will have plenty of riding experience from Rosario.
Steve Asmussen, Epicenter’s trainer, has won the Belmont Stakes once before. He took the prize in 2016 together with Creator.
This will be Epicenterβs first Belmont Park run, which could be seen as a negative considering that four of the 10 Belmont Park winners have had experience at the track before.
If you’re looking for Epicenter, consider the fact that he has had two difficult races in a short time and the slight increase in the trip. His consistent profile makes Epicenter a strong player here. With three weeks to recover from the Preakness Stakes run and Joel Rosario, a two-time winner jockey, he is sure to have his fans.
