Haskell on July 19 crowns Monmouth stakes schedule
Led by the Grade 1, $1 million Haskell Stakes, Monmouth Park is set to offer $7.8 million in stakes races when the track kicks off its 80th season on Saturday, May 10.
The 2025 race meet, which runs through Sept. 14, will feature 51 total stakes including nine graded events and 11 stakes restricted to New Jersey-bred horses.
In addition to the Haskell, the premier card on July 19 will host the $600,000 United Nations (G2), $500,000 Molly Pitcher (G3), $400,000 Monmouth Cup (G3), $300,000 Matchmaker (G3) and $100,000 Wolf Hill.
In preparation for the Haskell program, Monmouth Park will offer a Haskell preview day card with four stakes events on June 14. Those include the Salvator Mile (G3), Eatontown (G3), Pegasus and Monmouth, each carrying a purse of $150,000.
The 23rd annual New Jersey Thoroughbred festival, with three stakes events, will be renewed on Aug. 24. The $125,000 Charles Hesse III Handicap headlines that card.
