Obviously, the rich purse is a draw, as is the fact the Haskell awards a “Win and You’re In” berth to the $7 million, Grade 1 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic via the Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series. But equally important is the Haskell’s status as the first big post-Triple Crown target for top 3-year-old Thoroughbreds. A victory in the Haskell — after competing well in the Triple Crown — can place a horse firmly in the hunt for a year-end championship in the division.
