History
The inaugural running of the event was on 3 August 1968, closing day of the Monmouth Park summer meeting, as the Monmouth Invitational Handicap with a field of eleven horses. The event was won by 33-1 longshot Balustrade ridden by Canadian jockey Eric Walsh in a time of 1:50 flat with the favorite Iron Ruler finishing fourth.[1]
In 1973 when The American Graded Stakes Committee was founded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association with the event attracting high quality entrants the Monmouth Invitational Handicap immediately was given the highest classification of Grade I.[2]
In the 1976 running of the event Majestic Light set a new track record of 1:47 flat winning by six lengths.[3] The track record was broken by Spend A Buck in 1985. In 1987 Belmont Stakes winner Bet Twice won the event and equaled the stakes mark.[2]
In 1981, the board of directors of Monmouth Park Racetrack switched the names of the Amory L. Haskell Handicap with this event giving the name Haskell Invitational Handicap. Amory L. Haskell (1893–1966) was the former president and chairman of Monmouth Park.[4]
In 1997, the purse for the race was increased to $1,000,000 and has since remained at that level with two exceptions.[5] In 2006, the event was changed from a handicap to allowance weight conditions and the name of the event was modified to the Haskell Invitational Stakes.[4] In 2002, the purse was increased to $1,500,000 due to the presence of War Emblem, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. In 2015, the purse was increased to $1,750,000 as it featured American Pharoah in his first race since winning the Triple Crown.[5] The 2015 running attracted a record New Jersey crowd of 60,983.[4]
In 2020 the event ceased to be an Invitational and the name was changed to simply the Haskell Stakes.[5]
The event has attracted many sponsors including Buick (1996−1998), Izod (2010), William Hill (2013−2015), betfair.com (2016−2018) and TVG.com (2019– ).[5]
