Oceanport, New Jersey

If the winners silks look familiar don't adjust your monitor.  Bob Baffert once again sent out another three-year-old colt, named Coil, for the ownership group of Watson, Pegram and Weitman in the 2011 Haskell and once again they wound up in the winners circle.  The three-year-old son of former Haskell champ Point Given started slowly but under the careful guidance of pilot Martin Garcia was able to circle the field and run down the leaders in a stirring stretch drive to earn the 2011 Haskell  title.  For all the stakes racing action see the stakes calendar below.

Oceanport, New Jersey

It was a winter of uncertainty for the thoroughbred racing industry in the State of New Jersey.  Will they run, won't they run.  Speculation and then the award of a lease agreement to Developer, Morris Bailey, and the Spring/Summer meeting was off and running.  Even though last year's Elite Meet will not be renewed racing returns for another season at the shore.  And it was just like old times as Joe Bravo returned to the winner's circle for the opening day Decathlon Stakes guiding This One's For Phil  (above) to victory.

June 18, 2011

Oceanport, New Jersey

It's been quite a week for the Kelly Breen barn as Ruler On Ice won the Belmont Stakes and then stablemate and Louisiana Derby winner, Pants On Fire (above), won The Grade II Pegasus Stakes in preparation for a potential Haskell and/or Travers start next out.  Both wins cap an extraordinary week for Monmouth Park's leading owners George and Lori Hall.
