Oceanport, New Jersey

With picture perfect weather came big crowds to see Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, Big Brown, look for redemption after his performance debacle at The Belmont Stakes.  Nick Zito trained Coal Play almost pulled off a front running masterpiece, but Big Brown dug deep and gritted out a win against a front runners track bias en route to the win in The 41st Running of The Haskell Invitational.   See below for all the Monmouth Park action.

Oceanport, New Jersey

With the start of June came a four day dose of extreme heat as temperatures soared close to one-hundred degrees.  On the track Stewart Elliott was also blazing as he won two stakes on Saturday.  First he guided Beau Dare to victory in The Candy Eclair Stakes and then guided Hardacre Farm's six-year-old, Indy Wind, to victory in The Frisk Me Now Stakes.

Oceanport, New Jersey/Elmont, New York

After a massive disappointment in the Belmont Stakes IEAH Stable, Paul Pompa, Jr., and trainer Richard Dutrow announced today that Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown will make his next start in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park.  After previously stating that the colt would be pointed to the Travers at Saratoga, the connections reevaluated that decision and will now send the colt to the Jersey Shore in hopes of beating the heat and getting their three-year-old star back in the winner's circle as he prepares for the Breeders' Cup Classic.
