Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch returns for the Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park
OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) - Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch and runner-up Mindframe are set to renew their rivalry when they return to racing for the $1 million Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park on Saturday.
Mindframe, who finished a half-length behind Dornoch in the final leg of the Triple Crown on June 8, has been made the 9-5 favorite for the centerpiece of the Monmouth meet. Danny Gargan-trained Dornoch is the 5-2 second choice despite his exciting win at Saratoga Race Course.
The Belmont was held at Saratoga because Belmont is undergoing renovations.
Dornoch drew the inside No. 1 post position in the field of eight 3-year-old colts and geldings for the 1 1/8-mile race. Regular jockey Luis Saez is listed to ride the son of Good Magic, who won this race in 2018.
