Jockey Johan Rosado has moved his tack from Oaklawn Park to Kentucky, and has started picking up mounts at Churchill Downs, the track announced Friday afternoon.
The son of Roberto Rasado, the 1997 Eclipse Award Outstanding Apprentice Jockey, Johan Rosado is represented by Ruben Munoz. He reportedly plans to ride in Kentucky throughout the spring and continue in the summer at Ellis Park.
“My father was a jockey for 25 years,” Johan Rosado said. “I always looked up to him. I grew up at the racetrack and have a lot of family in the business. I just followed their footsteps.”
Rosado's first start at Churchill since his move came May 15 against allowance optional claiming company, aboard Ceniza Pampa (Arg) (Hat Ninja {Arg}), where he finished second for trainer Horacio De Paz. He is named on Smols (Rock Your World) in a claiming contest at Churchill Downs May 22 in race 4.
