The Haskell Stakes is the biggest race that comes to Monmouth Park Racetrack in New Jersey each year. There is a nice $1,000,000 purse and the Grade 1 race is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge series that rewards the winner with a spot in the Breeders’ Cup Classic this November.
This years race features Preakness Stakes winner, Journalism, who is a significant favorite with morning line odds of 4/5. The other top contenders in the race are Goal Oriented, Gosger, and Burnham Square.
In this article I will look at the morning line odds for the 2025 Haskell Stakes and also provide a 3 step guide to getting your bets in on this race come Saturday.

My Pick
I like Journalism to win this race at odds of 4/5. As mentioned earlier, he won the Preakness Stakes, and also finished second in both the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. Journalism is considered one of the fastest horses in the world having won 3 of his 5 races in 2025. I think he’s a class above the rest of this field and should win the race running away. I don’t usually like taking the chalk as my pick, but I don’t see any other contenders with the ability to beat him in this race.
Play: Journalism 4/5
