The Grade 1, $1 million Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park features a competitive field of eight 3-year-olds racing 1 1/8 miles on dirt. Preakness winner Journalism returns from a brief break and is the 4-5 favorite, aiming to secure a spot in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Other notable contenders include Preakness runner-up Gosger, Bob Baffert’s Goal Oriented with jockey Flavien Prat, and Burnham Square, who finished second in the Matt Winn Stakes. The race is set for 5:45 p.m. EDT with coverage on NBC and Peacock.

Handicappers highlight Journalism as the clear favorite but suggest some long shots could offer value in exotic wagers. The field includes horses with strong lifetime speed figures such as Gosger and Goal Oriented, while others like Bracket Buster and Burnham Square have shown recent form stepping up in class.
