What an addition to the team in 2023. The son of Into Mischief cost $600,000 as a yearling (he cost us significantly less), won on the turf at Kentucky Downs in 2021 and was beaten 4 ½ lengths in the Grade 2 Bourbon Stakes while with Hall of Famer Bill Mott. The dark bay gelding wound up in Maryland, winning easily at 9 furlongs on the turf in 2022.
Ten Strike Racing and Riverdee joined forces to pluck him out of Oaklawn Park in January, 2023 and sent him to Jack Fisher.
Rocket One posted two wins, two seconds and a fourth in five starts in his rookie season on the steeplechase circuit. Owned by Riverdee and Ten Strike Racing, the 5-year-old rallied to finish second in the feature at Tryon and an allowance race at Radnor to start the 2024 season. He missed the rest of the 2024 season and the 2025 season but came back with a second in the Daniel Van Clief Stakes at Foxfield and a win in the Marcellus Frost Stakes at the Iroquois.
Watch Rocket One win at Nashville.
