Contender Status

Red Rocks (Ire) has made only one trip to the United States, that coming last year when he won the John Deere Breeders' Cup Turf (G1).

Since then, Red Rocks has raced in the United Arab Emirates, where he failed to earn a single Dirham, but subsequently fared much better in England, winning the Betfred Gordon Richard Stakes (Eng-G3) at Sandown and fourth to Manduro in the Prince of Wales's Stakes (Eng-G1) at Ascot.

Red Rocks is currently scheduled to make his first start in the land of his birth in the September 8 Tattersalls Irish Champion Stakes (Ire-G1) at Leopardstown.

After that, all signs point to a return to the U.S. to defend his Breeders' Cup Turf title.

"His season is all about working back to the Breeders' Cup," trainer Brian Meehan told Racing Post.
