Haskell Stakes: The Key Monmouth Park Stats To Look For
Recent Run In Last 8 Weeks:
With ALL 10 of the last Haskell winners having raced inside the last 2 months, then this is the first trend to note. Of the 8 runners most fit the bill, but the Bob Baffert runner – Arabian Knight – falls down having not been out for 175 and when winning at Oaklawn Park back in January.
Winning Between 2-5 Times:
Next up is to look for past wins as 90% of the last 10 winners had been successful between 2-5 times in the past. The good news here is that all 8 runners fit this stat.
Respect Horses From Gates 2,3,6 & 7:
Over the last 10 years the magic gates have been 2,3,6 & 7 – with 9 of the last 10 Haskell Stakes winners hailing from one of these starting points. It might also pay to note that 50% of those 10 winners came from stalls 6 or 7.
This year this would be a plus for Awesome Strong (2), Salute The Stars (3), Howgreatisnate (6) and Extra Anejo (7).
Having 6 Or More Previous Runs Is a Plus:
Experience has counted for a lot in the Haskell Stakes too. Since 2013, a massive 80% of winners had previously raced between 6-8 times before. Of the 8 runners, Tapit Trice (7 runs) and Howgreatisnate (8 runs) have this on their side.

Look For Horses That Finished 1st or 2nd Last Time:
Heading to the Haskell Stakes off the back of a win or second has been an advantage too, with 8 of the last 10 winners falling into this bracket. Arabian Knight, Extra Anejo, Salute The Stars and Geaux Rocket Ride fit the bill.
Running In The Kentucky Derby Is a Positive:
Churchill Downs Triple Crown experience is next, with another 80% of the last 10 winners having run in the Kentucky Derby earlier that season – with 2 winning it. Of course, this year we’ve got the KD winner in Mage to try and back up this Haskell Stakes trend, with Tapit Trice having also run there (7th).
Favorites Have Won 50% Of The Last 10:
The betting market is tight, with Arabian Knight, Mage and Tapit Trice all popular at the head of the betting – so we’ll have to see which one goes off as the market leader. Whichever one does though, has a positive stat on their side with half of the last 10 favorites winning.
Baffert, Plecther and Cox The Stables To Note:
We’ve already mentioned the top record of the Bob Baffert barn in the Haskell Stakes – he’s won the prize 9 times. But it’s also worth mentioning Todd Pletcher with 3 wins and the Brad H. Cox camp, who have won the last two runnings.
All three have top chances again – Baffert has Arabian Knight, Pletcher runs Tapit Trice and Cox has Salute The Stars as he looks for a famous three-timer in the race.
