Officials at Monmouth Park have announced that the track will reward the connections of any horse to sweep the GI TVG.com Haskell S., GI Kentucky Derby and GI Breeders' Cup Classic a $1-million bonus.
The Haskell, the lone seven-figure Thoroughbred race in the state of New Jersey, will be renewed for the 53rd time July 18 as part of a stakes-filled program. For the first time, the race serves as a prep for the Sept. 5 Derby and offers Kentucky Derby points on a 100-40-20-10 scale.
The Breeders' Cup Classic is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7, at Keeneland Race Course. American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) won each of the three races in his Triple Crown season in 2015.
The COVID-19-delayed meeting at Monmouth Park kicks off Friday, July 3.
