“That’s funny as hell,” Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen said. “We’re tied. His next win, he goes by me.”
Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, who has had a milestone-filled meet, reached another milestone Saturday when Winchell Thoroughbred LLC’s Red Route One made him the winningest trainer in Oaklawn’s history with the victory in the $200,000 Bath House Row Stakes.
Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen tied the late Bob Holthus as Oaklawn’s all-time winningest trainer when Tapicita ($7) broke her maiden by 4½ lengths in Friday’s second race.
Trainer Steve Asmussen won four races on Oaklawn's 12-race card, including the $1-million Apple Blossom Handicap (G1) with Clairiere, who used an electrifying late kick under Joel Rosario to edge favored Secret Oath by a neck in the 1 1/16-mile event for older fillies and mares.
Some graying hair may be noticed, the horses perhaps dancing to a livelier beat than when purses were smaller and some of the races nondescript.
