Monmouth Announces 2015 Stakes Schedule

Description:
Led by the $1 million Haskell Invitational Stakes (gr. I) Aug. 2, Monmouth Park announced a graded stakes schedule worth $3.5 million for 2015. In addition, the popular bonus programs for owners and trainers will return this season, which begins May 9.
Throughout the 58 days of live racing at Monmouth in 2015, all trainers will receive a $300 bonus for every non-state-bred starter regardless of surface. Owners will receive a minimum of $700 for every non-state-bred dirt starter and a minimum of $500 for every open turf runner.
Haskell day 2015 will see four of Monmouth's 17 graded stakes events, with the Monmouth Cup (gr. II), WinStar Matchmaker Stakes (gr. IIIT), and Metropolitan Jets Oceanport Stakes (gr. IIIT) adding to the track's biggest racing event.
Haskell success continued to translate to Breeders' Cup success in 2014, with Bayern going on to capture the $5 million Classic (gr. I). Haskell favorite Untapable won the Longines Distaff (gr. I) en route to 3-year-old filly championship honors.
The 2015 Monmouth racing season will run through Sept. 27.
