The Event

The event was organized at the Monmouth Park racetrack and saw the largest total generated via bets made by people. The Grade 1 2023 Haskell Stakes was held on 22nd July. The Monmouth Park dirt track measured 1 ⅛ miles. The equestrian event was open for male horses aged three years and above. In fact, most of the racing participants were rookies. Despite this fact, the racing event broke all betting records for a racing event on a single day.


The Betting

The total money deposited by the people who made a bet was $21,359,642. The people who attended the race pooled a total of $1,717,876, and $19,641,766 was collected via off-site channels. This is the highest amount of money received via bets for the Grade 1 Haskell Stakes.

The Race

 The racers included veteran equestrian trainer Bob Baffert’s Arabian Knight and this year’s Kentucky Derby winner, Mage. However, Geaux Rocket Ride came in first position as it crushed the competition and won its third race of the year. The previous betting record for the Grade 1 Haskell Stakes got beaten by a margin of $880,000. The attendance in the stands was also huge. A total of 35,286 participants attended the equestrian event.
