This year’s 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 will host the $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.
