Some Big Favorites
With such a loaded group of horses looking to run at Monmouth Park, you can rightly assume that the betting odds are extremely tight. Mindframe is coming into this race as the betting favorite, and the odds for that horse are currently sitting at +180 to come away with the win.

Dornoch and Fierceness are currently sitting at +250, and those are two horses that have been favorites many times throughout their careers. Both Dornoch and Fierceness have proven that they can win big races, and this is one that would definitely qualify.
There is a bit of a break after the top three horses, but Tuscan Sky isn’t too far behind the leaders at +450. Those are four great horses that can all run ahead of the rest of the pack.

Others in the Mix
There are four other horses set to run in the Haskell Stakes, and there is a pretty clear gap in the betting odds that are out there. That doesn’t mean that other horses can’t come up with a win, but that would lead to a pretty big upset.
Timberlake is coming into this event at +800, and it’s a horse that has plenty to prove. You could include Timberlake in the group of favorites, especially compared to the other odds.
Sea Streak is next on the list at +2000 to come away with the win, but it’s a horse that has a lot to prove. Jasper’s Pride and Just Step on It have odds sitting at +3000 to win this big event, and they are clearly underdogs.
Dornoch Gets it Done
There are going to be some great horse races throughout the weekend, but this will be one that stands out for a number of different reasons. This is also going to be a good chance to cash in, and it won’t be the favorite that comes away with a win.
Dornoch is a horse that has had a great season, but the horse is looking for a signature win. Look for this to be the race for Dornoch as it will win the Haskell Stakes.
