MONMOUTH PARK ANNOUNCES $150,000 HASKELL WEEKEND TRAINER BONUS

Oceanport, N.J. – Adding to the $1 million Haskell Stakes card set for Saturday, July 20, Monmouth Park has announced a weekend-long trainer bonus totaling $150,000.

The “Haskell Weekend Trainer Challenge” will run Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21, with trainers accumulating points in every race. The winning trainer will receive $75,000.

“This is a great way to expand Haskell Day into Haskell Weekend and provide our fans with an amazing racing experience for three straight days,” said John F. Heims, Director of Racing/Racing Secretary. “While Haskell Day is already circled on many conditioners’ calendars, this new bonus will hopefully attract more of the nation’s top Thoroughbreds to the Jersey Shore this summer.”

The $150,000 in total bonuses will be awarded as follows: $75,000 (1st); $25,000 (2nd); $20,000 (3rd); $10,000 (4th); $7,500 (5th); and $2,500 (6th – 10th).
