Kentucky Derby winner Mage and super-talented but lightly raced Arabian Knight will square off in an intriguing renewal of the Haskell.
Mage, upset winner of the Kentucky Derby and then third in the Preakness, will make his next start in the Grade 1 Haskell at Monmouth Park July 22.
On the morning after the Preakness Stakes, the connections of Mage, National Treasure, and others were considering whether to go to the Belmont.
A loose horse and a good-feeling Mage could have made for an eventful morning, but in the end everything went smoothly for the Preakness favorite.
Kentucky Derby winner Mage is likely for the May 20 Preakness, if all goes well, and runner-up Two Phil’s is possible. Here’s who else might be coming.
