Test Your Haskell IQ

The 45th
running of the $1,000,000 Haskell Invitational will be contested at Monmouth Park on July 29th,
2012. The headliners in this
year’s field are expected to be Bodemeister who finished second in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and Dullahan who finished third in the
Derby.
In what ways will the 2012
three year-olds become part of the history of the Haskell? Let’s measure your
Haskell IQ by answering these ten trivia questions.
1) The Haskell was
originally a race for older horses, but in 1981 the name was switched to the
track’s top race for three year-olds.
What was this three year-old race called before it became the Haskell?
2) The first Haskell hat
was given away in what year?
3) Which trainer has won
the most Haskells?
4) Which jockey has won
the most Haskells?
5) Name the fillies that
have won the Haskell.
6) Four Haskell winners
have sired a Haskell winner. Can you name the father and son winners?
7) The stakes record time
is held by two Haskell winners, name them.
8) Which Haskell victor
had the greatest winning margin?
9) Which breeder has won
the most Haskells?
10) There is only one
letter in the alphabet that has not been represented as the first letter of a
Haskell horse. What letter is missing from the list?
Since you have been
working so hard, let’s take a break from your IQ test and go back to 2006 and watch
Todd Pletcher's first Haskell victory.
Please post your answers to
the following few questions in the comment section.
Have you ever been to the
Haskell? I so, what was the first Haskell that you attended? Will you be there
this summer?
Who is your favorite
Haskell winner?
Here are the answers to
the Haskell IQ test. How did you
do?
1) The
Monmouth Invitational
2) The first hat was given away in 1988
– Don’t you miss that style? Brian
Zipse probably still has that one.
3) Bob
Baffert has won five.
4) Craig
Perret rode three winners.
5)
Serena’s Song 1995 and Rachel Alexandra 2009
6) Point
Given and Coil, Majestic Light and Wavering Monarch, Skip Trial and Skip Away,
and Forty Niner and Coronado’s Quest
7)
Majestic Light and Bet Twice in 1:47
8)
Bluegrass Cat by seven lengths in 2006
9)
Claiborne Farm has produced three winners
10) No
