Overview
- The Haskell will run Saturday, July 18 at Monmouth Park and is carded as race 12 with an expected post time around 5:45 p.m. ET.
- Seven three‑year‑olds are entered: Star Sweeper, Further Ado, Baby Vino, The Puma, Iron Honor, Napoleon Solo and Ocelli, with Further Ado installed as the 2‑1 morning‑line favorite and Napoleon Solo at 5‑2.
- Further Ado arrives off a June win in the Matt Winn Stakes after finishing 11th in the Kentucky Derby, while Napoleon Solo makes his first start since winning the Preakness.
- Analysts note betting and form trends that favor short‑priced horses, runners with Triple Crown starts and low post draws, and many say Further Ado best matches those historical patterns.
- NBC will televise the race and Peacock will stream it, and the Haskell’s winner not only collects the $1 million purse but secures a 'Win and You’re In' spot in the Breeders’ Cup Classic and a likely path to the Travers at Saratoga.
