Sun King left the gate
at the break and went immediately to the front to set the tempo
through the opening mile in 1:36.77. Joey P pressed the leader
through the opening three-quarters of a mile before tiring as Roman
Ruler was sitting another head back in third stalking the leaders as
the field made its way through the turn and into the stretch. In the
stretch Roman Ruler pulled alongside Sun King passing the mile marker
and dueled with the pace setter before opening up late by a length and
a half to win The Haskell Invitational in a final time of 1:49.88.
Sun King ran a game effort to finish second while Park Avenue Ball
finished evenly for third. Roman Ruler is a three-year-old dark bay/
brown colt owned by Fog City Stable, trained by Bob Baffert and was
ridden by Jerry D. Bailey.
