HASKELL STAKES 2011: Entries, Post Positions and Odds

ELMONT, NY - JUNE 11:  Jose Valdivia, Jr. rides Ruler On Ice #9 to victory during the running of the 143rd Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park on June 11, 2011 in Elmont, New York.  (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)

Preakness winner Shackleford and Belmont winner Ruler On Ice will square off at Monmouth Park on Sunday in the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational (post time 5:43) against a field of six other three-year-old colts.  Among the Haskell challengers are Illinois Derby winner Joe Vann, 3rd place Preakness finishers Astrology, and Louisiana Derby winner Pants On Fire

If either Shackleford or Ruler On Ice wins the Haskell, they will be clearly entrenched as the top horse in the three-year-old division.

Man

It really seems like forever since these 3yos have been in my radar. I can’t wait for things to really gear up for BC

You wonder which horses have matured the last couple of months.

I see Pants On Fire is getting a jock change from Rosie to Elvis.

I like Pants on Fire here.

The Diana

To me, The Diana looks like the best of the stakes betting races of the weekend.

Absolutely

That’s a really open race. I haven’t figured out who I like the most in that one.

Diana

I’m going with the undefeated 1-Unbridled Humor. It’s a large jump in class for her, but she’s been blowing out fields. And having JR with the reins doesn’t hurt her chances.

You didn't get me down, Ray.

I like Zagora a bit in the Diana

She didn’t get much help upfront in the New York; perhaps if Romacaca applies some pressure to Giants Play things will set-up better for her this time.

Morning line

A relatively straight forward ML for the Haskell.

Coil gets 2nd choice status from the oddsmaker behind Shack. I would have liked to have seen him run at Santa Anita this winter/spring to have a little more to go on in terms of ability on the dirt.
