Oceanport, N.J. – Led by the Grade 1, $1 million Haskell Stakes, Monmouth Park is set to offer $8.05 million in stakes races when the track kicks off its 79th season on Saturday, May 11.

This year’s race meet, which runs through Sept. 15, will feature 48 total stakes, including 10 graded events, and 11 stakes restricted to New Jersey-bred horses.

The Haskell Day program will once again feature a total of six stakes races: $600,000 United Nations (G2); $500,000 Molly Pitcher (G3); $400,000 Monmouth Cup (G3); $300,000 WinStar Matchmaker (G3); and $100,000 Wolf Hill.

The 22nd annual New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival, with three stakes events, will be renewed on Aug. 25, with the $125,000 Charles Hesse III Handicap headlining that card.
