Big Brown Wins Haskell Invitational At Monmouth Park

Big Brown is the winner of $1 million Haskell Invitational held on Sunday at the Monmouth Park. He beat 20-1 long shot Coal Play by 1 3/4 lengths. Cool Coal Man was third, followed by Alaazo, Nistle’s Crunch, Atoned and Magical Forest.

Big Brown is the second Kentucky Derby winner to win the Haskell, first run in 1968. The other was War Emblem in 2002.

The next step for Big Brown could be in one of four races: the Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 1, the MassCap on Sept. 20, or the Jockey Club Gold Cup or Goodwood Breeders’ Cup, both Sept. 27.
