<p>All eyes will be on Monmouth Park this weekend as it’s time for the annual Haskell Stakes. This horse race might not have the big name as the three Triple Crown races, but some of the best horses in the world will be in the running.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This will be the 57th running of the historic event, and there is $1 million on the line for the winning horse as well. The draw was just done, and that means that betting odds have now been set for this big race.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at the betting odds for the Haskell Stakes and the top horses to back this weekend.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some Big Favorites</h2>



<p>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.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is a horse that has had a ton of success this year, and it is one that will be looking to get off to an early lead in this event. <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Betting</a> odds don’t fall off much for other horses at the Haskell Stakes as there are two horses sitting at +250. </p>



<p>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.&nbsp;</p>



<p>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.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Others in the Mix</h2>



<p>There are four other horses set to run in the Haskell Stakes, and there is a pretty clear gap in the <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> 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. </p>



<p>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.&nbsp;</p>



<p>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.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dornoch Gets it Done</h2>



<p>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.&nbsp;</p>



<p>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.</p>
