Kudos to Indian Hemp and the rest of the players that did well. As for the Haskell as an add on, don't know what effect the new whip rules at Monmouth will have. Maybe the best horses will win anyway. I usually like to play the Haskell Challenge, but will likely pass this year. 14 races, which it has been in the past, too many to handicap along with the Saratoga card, if that is where we wind up, but adding the Haskell itself ok with me, if it turns out to be a nice full field. Seems like it was a bit short last year with maybe 6 or 7 horses, if my memory is correct. However, it will likely be a quality field with Mandaloun and one or two others from the KD.
